Introduction to Cognitive Science

Cognitive science offers us a collection of interdisciplinary approaches to gain an understanding of the human mind – especially its aspects that are difficult to measure. In the community, we open a window onto the rich world of the mind, through the lenses of psychology, computer science, and phenomenology. Students experience diverse methods used in cognitive science, immersing themselves in the phenomena they seek to explore by collecting and analysing data through novel behavioural measurement techniques.

The community’s series of hybrid cross-campus learning activities (lectures, experiments, presentations, etc.) aims to help students understand the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of scientific inquiry in the sciences of the mind; integrate findings on selected cognitive phenomena from different disciplinary perspectives; develop skills of collaborative research, and get to understand basic concepts of cognitive science through learning about and researching selected cognitive phenomena.
