Hi Everybody,

I got several requests to post a summary of responses I received 
following my request about information on graduate programs in 
Cognitive Science in the US and Europe. 

Most of the information in this summary comes from a listing provided to
me by William Schmidt (schmidt@cogsci.uwo.ca), who compiled a 
summary in September 1991. I basically updated his list with some 
new information.

Some of the entries just contain the name of schools, and no additional
information, but I still included them in the summary.

Thanks a lot to everbody who responded.

INDIANA
:::::::

There has been much recent interest in interdisciplinary Cognitive Science
graduate programs.  Indiana University has recently mounted a major initiative
in cognitive science, and a program has been underway since 1989.  Applications
from prospective graduate students are being actively sought.

There is a thriving research community in cognitive science at the university.
This centers especially around the departments of Computer Science, Psychology,
Linguistics and Philosophy, but there is also much opportunity for interaction
with other areas.  Brief details on the individual departments, with a sample
of cognitive-science-oriented faculty:

Computer Science
----------------
There is considerable active research in artificial intelligence and cognitive
modelling.  Activity centers on connectionist models (neural networks), genetic
algorithms, and other "emergent" models of cognition.  Some relevant faculty
and research interests:

D. Hofstadter (emergent models of high-level perception and analogical thought)
R. Port (connectionist models of phonetics and speech recognition)
M. Gasser (connectionist models of natural language processing)
G. Rawlins (adaptive systems, machine learning, genetic algorithms)
D. Van Gucht (genetic algorithms)
A. Hanson (machine vision, decision theory)
D. Leake (explanation-based learning, story understanding).

Psychology
----------
The department of psychology is one of the best in the country, with an
extremely active group in cognitive psychology.  There is also a separate
department of Speech and Hearing Sciences.  Faculty include:

R. Shiffrin (memory)
D. Pisoni (speech perception)
J. Townsend (mathematical models of information processing)
L. Smith (developmental psychology, dynamic systems)
R. Nosofsky (categorization)
R. Kettner (neural models of motor control)
J. Kruschke (connectionist models of learning)
R. Peterson (connectionist models of language)
W. Timberlake (evolution and learning)
J. Castellan (decision making)
J. Sherman (human strategies in information acquiral)
C. Watson (speech and hearing).

Linguistics
-----------
The department of linguistics is also very strong.  I don't know a lot about
this department, but faculty include A. Bardovi-Harlig, D. Dinnsen, T. Sebeok,
R. Port, S. Franks, S. Davis, B. Hartford, J. Kanerva, L. Schwartz.

Philosophy
----------
The philosophy department has a concentration in logic (a Logic Institute is
currently being formed), with much interest in relevance to cognitive science.
There is considerable interest in the philosophy of mind and of artificial
intelligence.  There is also a separate department of History and Philosophy
of Science.  Some faculty:

J. Barwise (logic; reasoning; the analysis of natural language)
H. Castaneda (semantics of ordinary language; the structure of mind)
M. Dunn (non-classical logics)
R. Smullyan (mathematical logic; theory of computation)
T. van Gelder (philosophical foundations of connectionism)
A. ter Meulen (foundations of linguistic semantics)
R. Grossman (philosophy of mind)
N. Cocchiarella (logical analysis of conceptual structures)
A. Gupta (philosophy of logic; semantics; truth)
J. Winnie (theory of computation and connectionism; fractals and chaos)

Research Centers
----------------
There are also a number a number of separate Research Centers.  The most
relevant of these is the Center for Research on Concepts and Cognition, which
is affiliated with Computer Science, Psychology and Philosophy, and is headed
by Douglas Hofstadter.  This is a small group of 6-10 researchers concerned
with a broad area of cognitive science.  The major focus is on emergent models
of high-level perception and analogical thought; other areas of active research
include philosophy of mind, connectionism, humor, translation, and creativity.
The Center from time to time takes on graduate students, who are usually
already affiliated with one of the departments.

Other relevant Research Centers and Institutes include Semiotic Studies,
Folklore, the Kinsey Institute (Human Sexuality), the Institute for the Study
of Human Capabilities, and the Program in Neural Science.

Also worth mentioning is the Music School, which is one of the best in the
world.  There is some interest in computer applications, and recently there has
been growing interaction with Cognitive Science faculty.  There is active
research in musical cognition both in the Music School and in the departments
of Computer Science and Psychology.

Departments involved more tangentially with Cognitive Science include
Anthropology, Education, Mathematics, and Political Science.

The Graduate Program
--------------------
All graduate degrees in Cognitive Science must be associated with another
department's major.  There are two options:
(1) A combined Ph.D. with double major in Cognitive Science and another field.
(2) A Ph.D. in the original field, with a minor in Cognitive Science.

Courses will be taken from the original field, from a selection of core
Cognitive Science courses, and from other departments.  Strong encouragement is
given to interdisciplinary diversification.  There are over 160 graduate 
courses from various departments crosslisted with Cognitive Science.  A small
sample of recent courses:

Introduction to Cognitive Science (Cog. Sci.)
Connectionist Models              (Cog. Sci.)
Brain and Cognition               (Cog. Sci.)
Counterfactuals, Identity and Slippability (Cog. Sci.)
Translation and Analogy           (Cog. Sci.)
The Nature of Analogy             (Cog. Sci.)

Connectionism                     (History and Philosophy of Science)

There is also a busy schedule of seminars and colloquia, with many talks
available in a typical week.  Apart from talks in individual departments,
there is a regular series of interdisciplinary Cognitive Science colloquia
which has attracted leading figures from around the country and around the
world.

Financial support is widely available through departmental assistantships and
fellowships, as well as through Cognitive Science fellowships.

           The State University of New York at Binghamton
                             Announces
               Interdisciplinary Graduate Studies in
                            Philosophy
                               and
                   Computers and Systems Sciences
                             (PACSS)
          
   With the cooperation and assistance of the Computer Science, Psychology and
Systems Science Departments, the Philosophy Department of SUNY-Binghamton offers
an innovative, interdisciplinary MA/PhD program in Philosophy. This program is
designed to integrate the disciplines of philosophy, cognitive science,
artificial intelligence, computer science and systems science.
                                       
The program:
 * examines the philosophical assumptions of artificial intelligence, and 
evaluates systems science and computer science from the perspective of logic,
philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language
 * is designed to unify recent, exciting developments in these fields, so that 
further advances may be made in each, and so that there may be continual 
interaction among them
 * trains students in modelling techniques, so that they may formulate vaguely
stated philosophical issues precisely enough to be programmed
 * trains students to use computer models to bring empirical considerations to
bear on the evaluation of philosophical theories.

PACSS is designed to prepare students for:
 * research and teaching that require broad interdisciplinary knowledge in
Philosophy, Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science
 * new directions in professional philosophy, viz. the use of programs (computer
or information processing models) as an investigative tool for the analysis of
traditional philosophical problems
 * career options that call for new skills required by today's high-tech 
industries.

=====================

The University of Pittsburgh's Intelligent Systems Program is a graduate
program leading to a PhD for students interested in artificial
intelligence and cognitive science.  An interdisciplinary program, it has
strong ties to faculty in computer science, psychology, medical
informatics, linguistics, history and philosophy of science, and other
departments.  Major research projects of faculty range over a variety of
formal computational approaches to cognitive science, with substantial
interest in applied as well as purely basic research.  We welcome
inquiries from potential students interested in artificial intelligence
and cognitive science.

                              in Neural Processes in Cognition 
               at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University

The National Science Foundation has newly established an innovative
program for students investigating the neurobiology of cognition. 
The program's focus is the interpretation of cognitive functions
in terms of neuroanatomical and neurophysiological data and
computer simulations.  Such functions include perceiving,
attending, learning, planning, and remembering in humans and in
animals.  A carefully designed program of study prepares each
student to perform original research investigating cortical
function at multiple levels of analysis.  State of the art
facilities include: computerized microscopy, human and animal
electrophysiological instrumentation, behavioral assessment
laboratories,  brain scanners, the Pittsburgh Supercomputing
Center, and a regional medical center providing access to human
clinical populations.  This is a joint program between the
University of Pittsburgh, its School of Medicine, and Carnegie
Mellon University.  Each student receives full financial support,
travel allowances and a computer workstation.  

Applications are encouraged from students with interest in biology,
psychology, engineering, physics, mathematics, or computer science.
