Intelligence (AI) and associated areas (X = healthcare, medicine, biology, cybersecurity,
finance, business, manufacturing, transportation), using a transdisciplinary approach
across neuroscience, cognitive science, and computer science, and work with industry
to transition them into products that benefit humanity in an ethical and responsible
manner.
There are faculty from many departments/schools/programs associated with the center,
