The Cognitive Science Undergraduate Program is supported by a National Science Foundation Department of Undergraduate Education Grant (DUE-9752299).
Cognitive science is an exciting and rapidly evolving field that deals with complex cognition, intelligent systems, and the emergent behavior of large-scale computational systems.
It synthesizes aspects of a wide variety of disciplines, including:
 |
- psychology
- computer science
- linguistics
- philosophy
- neuroscience
|
The goals of the program include gaining a better understanding of
the human mind, of teaching and learning; of mental
abilities and of the development of intelligent machines that
either simulate or augment the capabilities of human minds
in illuminating ways.
Students will be given training in the
nature of knowledge and intelligence, in the neural
mechanisms underlying complex capacities, and in the
computational techniques under development to model these
capacities, in order to gain the conceptual framework and
technical skills necessary for careers in research, teaching,
business, and government.
