Specific topics include inverse optics and vision; induction and reasoning; learnability and language; philosophy of minds and brains; evolution; artificial intelligence and computational modeling; information theory; knowledge representation. The emphasis throughout is on the interrelations among these topics as examples of important but fundamentally unsolvable problems. This course is the same as BCOG 458, Seminar in Cognitive Science, and replaces PSYC 458, Cognitive Science. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
