This course introduces students to cognitive science—the interdisciplinary study of the mind—drawing on perspectives from psychology, neuroscience, and computer science/AI. Students will learn how mental processes such as perception, memory, language, decision making, and consciousness emerge from neural and computational mechanisms. Emphasis is placed on research methods, brain–behavior relationships, computational models, and applications to real-world problems.
