Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary study of the mind which features exciting ideas associated with models of computation, mechanisms of evolution, and work in the fields of language and vision. By studying Cognitive Science at Oswego you will acquire a distinctive education which is at once steeped in intellectual tradition and informed by the most recent advances in technology. While cognitive science has deep roots in long standing philosophical traditions, the modern origins of the field, per se, can be traced to synergies which emerged between the fields of psychology and artificial intelligence in the 1950's. Revolutionary work in the field of structural linguistics and dramatic advances in research on vision throughout the 1950's and 1960's helped to propel "the mind's new science" into the limelight of intellectual pursuit. The 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's saw the biological ideas associated with genetic algorithms and neural networks developed into powerful discipline shaping forces. More recently, cultural anthropologists, cognitive musicologists, and many others are playing ever more substantial roles in helping to advance our understanding of the mysteries of the mind. Last but not least, the field of philosophy has, throughout the development of cognitive science, vigilantly examined and reexamined issues pertaining to metaphysics and the nature of knowledge in light of accruing insights.
