Cognitive Science
Cognitive science seeks to understand the nature of human intelligence and cognition, often using computational models to test theories and explore the mechanisms underlying mental processes. Current research heavily involves the application and analysis of large language models (LLMs) and other artificial neural networks, comparing their capabilities to human cognition and leveraging them to investigate concepts like attention, reasoning, and memory. This interdisciplinary field bridges psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and philosophy, aiming to improve our understanding of both human and artificial intelligence, with implications for fields ranging from education and healthcare to AI safety and design.
