About Cognitive Systems Lab
A space where psychology, behavioral systems, and machine cognition converge to reveal new ways of understanding human change
A Research Initiative Founded and Directed by Marta Morawska
The Cognitive Systems Lab examines how thinking patterns, internal psychological structures, and emerging intelligent technologies shape human adaptation and change. Our work focuses on the systems that organize perception, attention, and meaning-making, especially in high-pressure and complex environments.
Rather than treating cognition as linear or symptomatic, the Lab studies it as a dynamic, multi-layered architecture shaped by memory, perception, pattern formation, and the pressures of an increasingly mediated, algorithmic world. Through systems-level models and conceptual frameworks, we investigate how individuals construct identity, navigate complexity, and undergo psychological transformation.
The Lab serves as a space for intellectual inquiry - a place where psychology, behavioral systems, and machine cognition converge to reveal new ways of understanding human change.
About the Cognitive Systems Lab
Our orientation draws from systems theory and cognitive science, viewing human cognition as a dynamic system shaped by ongoing feedback between the mind, the body, and the environment. We study how thought patterns stabilize, shift, or reorganize - particularly in response to stress, responsibility, or technological mediation.
We are particularly focused on co-adaptive processes: how human cognitive architectures and machine-learning systems reshape each other over time. By examining parallels in biological regulation and computational inference - we investigate how internal psychological structures reorganize in response to intelligent technologies. This work aims to map the emerging bio-computational conditions under which identity, perception, and decision-making evolve.
