Cognitive Science is a growing and innovative field on the leading edge of understanding the workings of the mind. At the junction of Philosophy, Psychology, Linguistics, Neuroscience, Anthropology, and Computer Science, Cognitive Science offers insights into the nature of the mind, including consciousness, the self, langage, and emotions. This course introduces learners to Cognitive Science through core questions and areas of inquiry. The application of Cognitive Science to artificial intelligence will also be discussed.
