Cognitive Science Lecture Series
Cognitive science is the study of mind, intelligence, and information. It overlaps the traditional disciplines of anthropology, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology (among others). More than 60 universities in Europe and North America have cognitive science programs. The aim of this series is to foster interdisciplinary discussion along these lines here at 91传媒.
