Program Description Cognitive science involves the study of cognition, perception, and emotion from a wide range of perspectives. Despite the many different methodologies they use, cognitive scientists are united in their interest in the mind—and the brain. Researchers in Carleton's program (students and faculty members) study the mind by combining the methods and theories of five disciplines: psychology, philosophy, linguistics, neuroscience and computer science. This interdisciplinary approach allows unique insights into human understanding, thought, perception, language and emotion. The Biological Foundations of Cognition: This specialization studies how cognitive activities are implemented in the brain. Student's specialization coursework will be in neuroscience and psychology.
