Chair’s Message<\/h3>\n

Welcome to the website for the Carleton University Undergraduate and Graduate programs in Cognitive Science.<\/p>\n

Cognitive Science is an emerging field that brings together various approaches to the study of human cognition, drawing from psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy and computer science. Historically, study in Cognitive Science has been conducted within each of these traditional disciplines and this approach still represents important areas of research (for example, cognitive psychology, part of the discipline of psychology, or artificial\u00a0intelligence, part of the discipline of \u00a0computer science). However, many researchers, practitioners, and students are feeling a need for an approach to understanding the mind that integrates basic knowledge in the foundational disciplines and prepares them to work across multiple academic fields.<\/p>\n

This website contains information about our programs, current students, staff and faculty, as well as news and information about upcoming\u00a0departmental events.\u00a0 Please feel free to contact us for additional information or if you have any questions.<\/p>\n
