This course provides a tour of topics in cognitive science - from vision and language to memory, learning and consciousness. It has a special focus on the relationship between mind and body. Students will learn some of the core underlying concepts of cognitive science, and also practice data collection and analysis. We will study cognitive, social, physiological, perceptual and psycho-physical phenomena, abilities and limitations. These topics will also be explored through how they can be applied in the realm of human-machine interaction.A tour of topics in cognitive science - from vision and language to memory, learning and consciousness.

Subject matter in these courses contributes to students' cultural literacy while instructional materials and classroom assignments introduce basic research problems and techniques.
