Cognitive Science: University of Osnabrück

The Bachelor's programme is designed to provide a sound foundation in the core areas of Cognitive Science:

• Artificial Intelligence (e.g. Algorithms; Mathematical Foundations, Logic; Knowledge Representation, Planning, Multi-agent Systems)
• Neuroinformatics and Robotics (e.g. Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Autonomous Robots)
• Cognitive Psychology (e.g. Methods of Empirical Research; Text Comprehension; Personality Systems; Human-computer Interaction)
• Neuroscience (e.g. Visual Attention; Sensory-motor Representation, Computer Simulation; Optical Imaging; EEG)
• Computational Linguistics (e.g. Syntax and the Lexicon; Context-dependence; Semantics-Pragmatics Interface; Quantitative Linguistics; Human Language Processing)
• Philosophy of Cognition (e.g. Mind Reading, Emergence, Phenomenal Consciousness, Emotions, Philosophy of Psychoanalysis)

Particular emphasis is placed on the methods employed in these fields and on their interdisciplinary relationships. Students will acquire empirical skills, analytical skills and also engineering skills. Beyond this, students are introduced to more advanced topics in their selected areas of study.
