Philosophical development of cognitive science.
This course introduced me to the Cognitive Science major because I had not yet taken the intro course. Honestly, I feel like this course should be taken before it, having done it this way. It opened my perspectives on what cogsci is and could be.
various perspectives on AI, but more so that these questions are to be explored and not necessarily answered.
I learned about some of the foundational connections between cognitive science and philosophy. We particularly discussed the subjects of linguistics and artificial intelligence in depth.
The course focused on AI and the connection to the human brain and cognition, along with potentially related moral quandaries that humanity will have to face.
An introduction to this cognitive science with a focus on philosophy
A lot about how machine intelligence works, and how it does and does not mimic humans.
Interesting conversation on topics in cognitive science and philosophy.
i learned more about cognitive science, and due to the final paper being very open to doing whatever topic in cog sci that you're interested in, i was able to go deeper into a subject that i'm very interested but that we didnt cover in the course, so i was very happy to learn more
Empiricism versus rationalism, the foundations of artificial intelligence computing and research, and modern philosophical debates about the role of AI
