  • COGS 6100: Cognitive Engineering

    4.00 Credits
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

    Integrated cognitive systems comprise human cognitive, perception, and motor subsystems in coordinated action with interactive devices. Examples may be as simple as a human using a VCR or as complex as the behavior exhibited by Air Force pilots. This course will introduce students to the cognitive theory behind integrated cognitive systems, the techniques for collecting and analyzing data such as eye movements and action protocols, as well as the software tools available for the representation of interactive behavior. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: Admission to doctoral program. When Offered: Fall and spring terms annually. Credit Hours: 4

  • COGS 6200: Cognition

    4.00 Credits
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

    This course covers reasoning, decision making, and behavioral game theory, which are major domains in human higher order cognition. For each topic, we start from normative theories, go through formal and mathematical models, and introduce empirical studies. The course emphasizes integrations of competing approaches within a domain, integration between reasoning and decision making, and integration between individual decision making and game-theoretic interactions. Each year, the course has a theme. The theme for this year is quantum cognition, which applies quantum theory in cognitive modeling. This course is designed as self-contained, and no pre-requirements. A middle term presentation and a final term paper are required for each student. Graduate students only. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4

  • COGS 6240: Logic and Artificial Intelligence

    4.00 Credits
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

    This course is about the connection between logic and artificial intelligence (AI). It may be partitioned into three general sections: 1) the straightforward application of firstorder logic (FOL) in AI; 2) the broadening of FOL to enable a robot to reason in a commonsense way (nonmonotonic reasoning, induction, etc.) and to formalize a robot agent's belief and knowledge system (modal logics, etc.); and 3) using a logical approach to the Frame Problem and to building a planner.

  • COGS 6420: Perception and Action

    4.00 Credits
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

    This course is a graduate level introduction to the topic of perception and action, and will focus on the significance of perception, motor control, and perceptual-motor learning as they relate to the performance of routine and skilled tasks. We will explore perception and action from information processing, computational, dynamical systems, and ecological perspectives, review current empirical and computational research, and consider some applications, including training, rehabilitation, human-machine interaction, and robotics. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: graduate status or permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term alternate years. Credit Hours: 4
