Cognitive Science

Cognitive Science is the scientific study of the brain and mind, and its goal is to understand how we process information, think, reason, and make decisions. It looks at how our mental processes are structured, how they are altered by experience, and what happens when they malfunction due to illness, injury, and aging. Cognitive Science research has improved our understanding of how we learn, and has had a major impact on the design of educational and cognitive therapies, as well as artificial intelligence and machine learning. Its applications range from improving efficiency and accuracy in the workplace, to helping individuals with mental health issues better manage their daily lives.
