WHAT IS CogSci
Cognitive Science is
one of the most complex and fastest growing interdisciplines.
Its basic goal is to investigate and describe the complexities of the human mind. It comprises the hexagon of
- linguistics,
- psychology,
- artificial intelligence,
- anthropology,
- neuroscience,
- and philosophy.
However, due to its complexity, it has been developing in various directions in terms of salient research questions and disciplines involved. For example, cognitive neuroscience separated from cognitive science and emerged as an independent interdiscipline and an academic study program.
On the other hand, various cognitive science programs around the world include specific courses and modules with transdisciplinary problems that are addressed by mathematicians, biologists, sociologists, educational scientists, etc.
