Selected topics in the study of Cognitive Science.

This course offers an interdisciplinary exploration of how decisions are made by individuals and organizations. We will learn about theories and models from psychology, neuroscience, economics, and their applications to fields such as medicine, business, public policy, and technology. You will learn about the cognitive biases, societal factors, and neural mechanisms which shape our decision making processes, and how computational models can be designed to explain and inform decision making in different aspects of life. The course will focus on the concepts underlying computational models and will not cover fitting models to data, but you will develop your ability to interpret graphs, understand computational models, and assess statistical results. By connecting theoretical concepts to real-world applications, this course aims to enrich your understanding of decision-making processes.
