About The Program
Cognitive Science is the study of mind and brain, focusing on how the mind represents knowledge and how mental representations and processes are realized in the brain. The field is highly interdisciplinary, combining ideas and methods from psychology, computer science, linguistics, philosophy, and neuroscience.
The Department of Science and Technology (DST) seeks proposal in the active areas of cognitive research that include emotions, language, memory, visual perception and cognition, thinking and reasoning, social cognition, decision making, artificial intelligence, computational modeling of cognitive processes, psychology, cognitive development and other important components derive from work in the neurosciences, philosophy, linguistics and anthropology. The goal is to characterize the nature of human knowledge—its forms and content—and how that knowledge is used, processed, and acquired. Cognitive Science Research Initiative (CSRI) of DST is willing to revolutionize research in various fields such as, a) nature and origin of mental disorders of psychological, social and neurochemical origin; b) design of better learning tools and educational paradigms; and c) design of better cognition based software technologies and devices.
