Cognitive Science
About Cognitive Science
Cognitive Science is the interdisciplinary study of intelligent behaviour in humans, animals, and machines. It encompasses the traditional disciplines of Computer Science, Linguistics, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Psychology. By taking a computational view of the mind, Cognitive Science seeks to establish a mechanistic understanding of the mental processes underpinning intelligent behaviour, inform our understanding of our mind, and guide the design and development of intelligent systems.
Two Cognitive Science Programs (Interfaculty Program and Honours Program) are offered in partnership with the following departments:
- Computer Science (Science)
- Linguistics (Arts)
- Neuroscience (Science)
- Philosophy (Arts)
