Lehrveranstaltungen im Sommer 2024

Seminar (MA): Lesen und Leseforschung

Seminar (MA, mit Frédérick Deschênes): A History of Cognitive Science

Vorlesung (diverse Dozenten): Cognitive Science - Heidelberg University Lecture Series

Certificate of advanced studies "Cognitive Science"

Das Certificate of advanced studies (CAS) "Cognitive Science" ist eine interdisziplinäre, forschungsorientierte Zusatzqualifikation für Masterstudierende und Doktorand:innen, die eine individuelle Profilbildung fördert. Im Fokus des Erkenntnisinteresses steht die menschliche Kognition, allerdings in der Überzeugung, dass eine gegenseitige Befruchtung durch den Brückenschlag zu computationalen Ansätzen und zur künstlichen Intelligenz möglich ist.
