| Cognitive science is the study
of how intelligent beings (including people, animals, and machines)
perceive, act, know, and think. It explores the process and
content of thought as observed in individuals, distributed through
communities, manifested in the structure and meaning of language,
modeled by algorithms, and contemplated by philosophies of mind.
Its models are formulated using concepts drawn from many disciplines,
including psychology, linguistics, logic, computer science,
anthropology, and philosophy, and they are tested using evidence
from psychological experiments, clinical studies, field studies,
computer simulations, and neurophysiological observation.

UConn Cognitive Science Listserv
List name: COGSCI-DL (Cognitive science “Distribution List”)
Web address: listserv.uconn.edu/cogsci-dl.html
Purpose: This list is for announcements of events of broad interest
to the community (like the Cognitive Science Colloquia). It includes
undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs, faculty and other
interested people (i.e. the whole community). It gets a small
to medium amount of traffic.
List name: COGSCI-RL (Cognitive science “Research List”)
Web address: listserv.uconn.edu/cogsci-rl.html
Purpose: This list supports collaborative interaction on substantive
issues in the field. Its main purpose so far has been to carry
the synopses of the Cognitive Science Reading Group meetings that
occurred this summer. It may get a lot of traffic at times.
List name: COGSCI-FL (Cognitive science “Faculty List”)
Web address: listserv.uconn.edu/cogsci-fl.html
Purpose: This list includes all the faculty affiliated with the
Cognitive Science Program and will be used in the future mainly
for communications that specifically concern the faculty (e.g.
advising info, consulting on decisions to be made by the faculty
as a group). It doesn’t get much traffic. |
