  • COGS–Q 689 Computer Simulation Project (3 cr.) The student will develop and test a computer simulation of some aspect of cognition. The student will produce a working, documented computer program, and a paper describing both the workings of the program and tests of the program (either theoretical tests, tests of the program against data, or both). 
  • COGS–Q 700 Seminar in Cognitive Science (1–3 cr.) Intensive study of specific topics in cognitive science. Topics and instructors will change regularly. May be repeated.
  • COGS–Q 733 Colloquium Series (0–1 cr.) Three semesters at zero credits and one semester at one credit when the required colloquium is given by the student. The class will meet every week. At some meetings, invited speakers will present col­loquia; at others, students will present their own work. Each student will be required to make a presentation at least once during the year the course is taken for credit.
  • COGS–Q 750 Neural Networks as Models of Cognition (3 cr.) Topical seminar featuring analysis of models based on neural networks. Will usually feature extensive exploration of one or more examples of models of this type.
