Scientific Methods
At SIAT, researchers understand human/technology systems by observation, analysis, and experimentation. Because of the complex nature of the phenomena we study, hypothesis building and experiment design are creative exercises that combine social, cognitive, and biological scientific methods.

Research is the cornerstone of SIAT scholarship; it is characterized by interdisciplinary foundations, human-centered design, and the building of rich media. It does not cleanly fall in to traditional categories, but rather seeks to create new knowledge at the intersection of art and science. Graduate students should expect to interact with colleagues with different backgrounds and a range of expertise.
