Cognitive Science becomes Mind, Brain, and Behavior
Cognitive Science traditionally encompasses the fields of Linguistics, Computer Science, Cognitive Psychology, and Philosophy. More recent advances in neuroscience, genetics, and brain imaging have impelled the expansion of research in cognition and behavior to a new interdisciplinary range that includes biology, mathematics, anthropology, and sociology. In order to allow our students to address a wider range of research questions that reflect advances in the field, the Cognitive Science concentration has a revised curricular structure. These changes are reflected in our new designation as the Mind, Brain, and Behavior Concentration.
