- Deepen student's research in the multidisciplinary study of mind and cognition. Researchers in cognitive science come from a wide range of backgrounds, including psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, philosophy, mathematics, and neuroscience. But they all share a common goal: to gain a deeper understanding of the human mind, not just from an academic perspective but also from a practical one.
- The track focuses on the processes that underlie human functioning from two different research perspectives: empirical work and computational modeling. For example, empirical work may suggest a functional layout for computational models. But the reverse is also true: results of simulations with computational models can provide suggestions for setting up empirical experiments. The underlying philosophy of this track at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is to challenge students to build their knowledge in a wide variety of fields and techniques, all of which are related to cognitive psychology.
- The Cognitive Science track is jointly organized by the Department of Cognitive Psychology of the Faculty of Behavioural and Movement Sciences, and the Department of Artificial Intelligence of the Faculty of Sciences.
