The goals of the program include gaining a better understanding of the human mind, of teaching and learning, of mental abilities, and of the development of intelligent machines that either simulate or augment the capabilities of human minds in illuminating ways.
Students will be given training in the nature of knowledge and intelligence, in the neural mechanisms underlying complex capacities, and in the computational techniques under development to model these capacities, in order to gain the conceptual framework and technical skills necessary for careers in research, teaching, business, and government.
