It is affiliated with four doctoral schools (ED CLI, ED SVS, ED 472, ED EDC).

CHArt studies the uses and new forms of interaction, innovation, and the development of cognitive technologies that combine mathematics and algorithms with models of cognition, learning, and behavior.

CHArt draws on cognitive and developmental psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and mathematics to bridge knowledge of human beings with that of artificial systems — in areas such as learning situations, decision-making, and the modeling and simulation of human behavior.
