Course Description

This specialization examines how computer science and artificial intelligence are changing our understanding of human thought. The past 50 years have seen our collective understanding of "minds", both biological and computational, change through themes from cognitive psychology, machine-learning, neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, game theory, and other fields. This specialization examines both the "historical" and current research directions and controversies.
