A diverse range of teams and individuals share interests in design cognition and neurocognition. These include design researchers, as well as cognitive scientists studying design-related topics, and span all career stages from PhD to post-doc and through to academic. This SIG brings these people together under the umbrella of Cognitive Design Science: the scientific study of the designing mind and brain.

The SIG supports ongoing interdisciplinary networking and collaboration, joint discussions on research questions and direction, the exchange of ideas and expertise, and professional development.
