Description:
Cognitive
science is the inter-disciplinary study of intelligence in mechanical
and organic systems. In this introductory course, we examine many
topics from psychology, philosophy, computer science, linguistics,
neuroscience, and mathematics. Some questions that we will examine:
Can a computer be intelligent? How do neurons give rise to thinking?
What is consciousness? No prior knowledge or experience with any of
the sub-fields is assumed or necessary. |
