The content of the course is interdisciplinary and will require a good understanding of topics of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and computer science.
The historical vision of the discipline will be accompanied by a series of in-depth modules on contemporary research topics such as the evolution of cognition, the design of intelligent systems, and human-machine interfaces.
A part of the course will aim at the study of experimental paradigms that had the greatest impact in the development of cognitive sciences.
