Cognitive Science AB



Overview

Cognitive science is the science of the mind and intelligent processes in humans, animals, computers, and in the abstract. The field spans a wide variety of standard disciplines including philosophy, psychology, computer science, anthropology, linguistics, biology, and education. Cognitive science plays a key role in the development of human training and intervention programs, and in building artificial intelligence (AI) technologies of the twenty-first century. The major offers a distinctly UGA experience, preparing students to step into pathways in AI and other professional fields.
