Founded in 2015, the Center for Applied Brain and Cognitive Sciences is a cooperative research initiative between Tufts School of Engineering and the Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center (CCDC Soldier Center). The Center's mission is to bring together a unique interdisciplinary community of scientists and engineers to advance the state of the art in applied brain and cognitive sciences. It provides an innovative environment for conducting collaborative applied research focusing on measuring, predicting, and enhancing cognitive capabilities and human system interactions for individuals and teams working in naturalistic high-stakes environments.
