Technological Cognition

The laboratory’s research activities in the field of technological cognition are focused on investigating the neurocognitive mechanisms that enable humans to conceive and engage with technology. By integrating insights from cognitive neuroscience, psychology, learning sciences, engineering, and social studies, this research aims to understand how multiple cognitive functions—technical reasoning, semantic knowledge, visuospatial and motor skills, and social cognition—converge to shape our interactions with technologies. Parallel lines of inquiry explore how technology both reflect and extend human cognitive capacities, generating dynamic exchanges between individual cognition and the socio-technical environment.
