It’s time for NEAT again!

The second iteration of NEAT (Neuro-AI-Talks) brings together research groups working at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence. The focus of NEAT is to foster connections and discussions among attendees, sharing new ideas, projects, and directions, as well as exploring potential collaborations. The conference organized by the Machine Learning Group (Kietzmann Lab) will take place September 2nd-3rd 2024 in Osnabrück, in the middle of the gorgeous botanical gardens. We can hardly wait to get started!

Student Journal Release Party

We all had a lot of fun at the Cognitive Science Student Journal release party last week, and we were happy to see so many Coxis come show their support for the journal!
We started with a presentation about what we do at the journal, and each group talked about their experiences and achievements from this semester. It was really nice to see just how much we all had accomplished during our time with the journal.
We’ve released a few publications this semester covering a wide range of topics, from the neuroscience of Parkinson’s disease to how to hack your own dreams, and we’ve got lots more interesting stuff coming through the pipeline soon. Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to support our efforts!

For Prospective Students:

Bachelor Cognitive Science

This program is designed for you to explore the different fields within Cognitive Science, all while building a solid foundation in the core areas of Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Modelling, Computational Linguistics, Neurobiology, Neuroinformatics, Neuroscience, Philosophy of Mind. 

Master Cognitive Science

This Master Program allows you to refine your knowledge in Cognitive Psychology, Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics and Computational Linguistics, Neuroinformatics and Robotics, Neuroscience, and Philosophy of Mind and Cognition. You will build on your research skills through lab rotations, a year-long study project, and your master's thesis.

Master Cognitive Computing

The Cognitive Computing Program specializes in studying computational models of cognitive abilities. This course addresses working professionals who will continue to work in parallel to their studies. Graduates of this program are able to use their acquired skills for the development of innovative intelligent systems and services. 

Cognitive Science Student Journal

The Cognitive Science Student Journal publishes student works from all disciplines of Cognitive Science. In the Kaleidoscience Podcast students get a chance to talk about their own ideas and projects.
