The methodological approach of cognitive science clearly reveals the interdisciplinary legacy of the subject: cognitive science combines humanistic and analytical methods from the humanities and formal sciences (e.g. theoretical linguistics) with the scientific, experimental methods of psychology and neuroscience as well as with synthetic and constructive techniques of computer science. The course includes the acquisition of methods and practical experience in:
- Computer science and mathematics (specifically: algorithms and programming languages; formal languages; mathematical foundations of cognitive science; artificial intelligence, including knowledge representation, learning, planning and multi-agent systems)
- Psychology (specifically: methods of empirical research; cognitive psychology; personality psychology; neuropsychology)
- Neuroscience and biology (specifically: neurobiology; neuroanatomy; neuroethology; neurocomputing; imaging processes)
- Linguistics with computational linguistics and psycholinguistics (specifically: lexicon; syntax; semantics; pragmatics; theories of grammar)
- Philosophy (specifically: philosophy of mind; theories of knowledge; philosophy of science; philosophical logic; ethics)
