Get professionally ready for both academia and industry

2-year Full-time program in Cognitive Science

The program will familiarize students with diverse theories, methods, and tools to understand the architecture and functioning of the human mind. It also envisages developing new state-of-the-art labs involved in finding better solutions to cognitive challenges and questions faced in the Indian scenario.

It integrates teaching and learning through a multidisciplinary and diverse pedagogical curriculum. The MSc program trains students to pursue academic careers and to work at the crossroads of academic-industry linkages for advancing and leading intellectual creation in the cognitive science space. The graduates from this program could work in diverse sectors from basic research, brain sciences, management, engineering/design (robotics, smart software, and technology, human-machine interaction), social organizations; or decide to pursue higher education in cognitive science or any of its allied disciplines.

April 24, 2024, 3:30 p.m. Dr. Smita Sirker

In this talk, I address the domain of epistemic decision making in social contexts. How do epistemic agents form beliefs about something (in the world) given evidential inputs from other people? How do epistemic agents respond and alter their doxastic attitude in the light of testimony (evidence from others)?
