Cognitive science is the integrative study of mind and intelligence. This field draws heavily from a variety of disciplines, including artificial intelligence, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, , linguistics, and anthropology, among others. The origins of cognitive science can be traced back to the 1950s when researchers began to develop theories of mind based on complex representations and computational procedures.
This directory offers a variety of educational and research-related resources on concentrations in the field of cognitive science.
