Organisation profile: Center for Cognitive Science - State University of New York atBuffalo

---

The Center for Cognitive Science is the representation on
the University at Buffalo campus of an academic and private-sector
movement, named "cognitive science", that has been expanding over the
last two decades both in the U.S. and abroad. The aim of this
development is to investigate the nature of cognition, i.e., of
intellective processes as exhibited either by the human mind or by
computer. Most centrally, cognitive science is the study of how the
mind works, both in its conceptual organization and in its
computational and neural infrastructure. Accordingly, cognitive
science has brought together researchers from a number of
traditionally separate disciplines -- primarily, computer science,
psychology, linguistics, philosophy, anthropology, and neuroscience --
in order to build a new and unified understanding of cognition that is
compounded from the different disciplinary perspectives and that moves
beyond them.
