Cognitive science is the scientific study of the human mind. This is a highly interdisciplinary field—introducing and combining ideas and principles from psychology, computer science, neuroscience and linguistics. Human brain cognition provides an excellent framework for the development of advanced machines and programs, making this field especially beneficial for the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) efforts. Students pursuing this degree will explore intellectual abilities and processes; learning how they can be applied to develop intelligent devices such as AI, robotics and large-scale computational systems.
