Active Projects

Our active research projects push boundaries and produce actionable tools for practitioners, policymakers, and educators.

Cognitive Attack Taxonomy (CAT)

The CAT is a shared reference framework designed to classify and understand cognitive threats across domains.

​

It considers cognitive vulnerabilities, exploits, tactics/techniques, tools, and procedures, relative to cognitive processing in the broadest possible sense within biological (humans and animals) and artificial (embodied and virtual) cognitive systems at all levels. Cognition from this perspective refers to information processing systems, which may, or may not, include awareness, consciousness, or sentience.
