Cognitive Science in Cognition and Computation

Are you interested in how people, or animals, or computers think? Cognitive scientists study thinking from a variety of different perspectives. This exciting discipline integrates elements of philosophy, psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, and computer science into a unified field of study. This approach allows you to study human understanding, thought, perception, language and emotion from a variety of angles пПС from the study of abstract concepts to well-defined empirical research into language and computer models of cognition.YouпПХll begin to specialize during your second and third year of study including the specialization of Cognition and Computation. One way to study cognition is to create artificial cognitive systems (artificial intelligence) and to model natural cognitive systems (the human mind) on computers. This specialization focuses on the use of computers to study cognition.
