Course # (Section) Title Day/Times Instructor Location Term Additional Details
AS.050.202 (01) Introduction to Computational Cognitive Science TTh 1:30PM - 2:45PM Rawlins, Kyle Latrobe 107 Spring 2026
  • Description: How does the mind work? Cognitive science addresses this question from a multidiscliplinary perspective, drawing upon methods and ideas from psychology, neurophysiology, neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. Within this framework, computational cognitive science has two related goals. The first is to create computational models of human cognition, computer programs that simulate certain aspects of the mind. The second is to understand how to produce intelligent behavior in machines, taking cues from humans. The computational frameworks we will discuss include symbolic structured representations, probabilistic inference and artificial neural networks, as applied to concept learning, language and vision. While this class does not have formal prerequisites, some programming experience (e.g., AS 250.205 Introduction to Computing or equivalent) and mathematical preparation (e.g., AS.110.107 Calculus II or equivalent) are essential.

AS.050.203 (01) Neuroscience: Cognitive MW 12:00PM - 1:15PM Zhao, Yuanfang Bloomberg 272 Spring 2026
  • Description: This course surveys theory and research concerning how mental processes are carried out by the human brain. Currently a wide range of methods of probing the functioning brain are yielding insights into the nature of the relation between mental and neural events. Emphasis will be placed on developing an understanding of both the physiological bases of the techniques and the issues involved in relating measures of brain activity to cognitive functioning. Methods surveyed include electrophysiological recording techniques such as EEG, ERP, single/multiple unit recording and MEG; functional imaging techniques such as PET and fMRI; and methods that involve lesioning or disrupting neural activity such as cortical stimulation, animal lesion studies, and the study of brain-damaged individuals. Also offered as AS.050.603. It’s strongly recommended that students have background in one of the following courses: AS.050.105 OR AS.200.141.

AS.050.206 (01) Bilingualism TTh 1:30PM - 2:45PM Yarmolinskaya, Julia Krieger 111 Spring 2026
  • Description: How do we juggle multiple languages in our brain? Do children get confused when they grow up exposed to more than one language? Is it possible to forget one’s native language? Are the first and second languages processed in different areas of the brain? How does brain damage impact the different languages of a polyglot? Does knowing a second language affect non-linguistic cognitive processing? This course will address questions such as these through an exploration of cognitive and neural processes underlying bilingual and multilingual language processing. Also offered as AS.050.606.

AS.050.251 (01) Cognitive Principles of Artificial Intelligence TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM Hu, Jennifer Hodson 210 Spring 2026
  • Description: The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most powerful—and controversial—breakthroughs of our lifetime. Some say that large language models, like ChatGPT, are oracles that will render human thought obsolete. Others say that these models are “stochastic parrots” with no real understanding of the text they produce. Who is right? And what would it even mean for a machine to be able to think and use languages like humans do? This course will give students the tools to answer these questions and critically analyze AI through a grounding in cognitive science, with a focus on language. Topics will include the technical foundation of language models, human language learning, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, reasoning, creativity, and how AI use is affecting our own minds. Strongly recommended: prior course in programming and/or probability theory.

AS.050.315 (01) Cognitive Neuropsychology of Visual Perception: The Malfunctioning Visual Brain TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM McCloskey, Michael E Krieger 205 Spring 2026
  • Description: When we think about our ability to see, we tend to think about our eyes, but in fact vision happens mostly in the brain. This course explores the remarkable perceptual deficits that occur when the visual regions of the brain are damaged or fail to develop normally, focusing on what these perceptual malfunctions tell us about normal visual perception. Topics include visual system anatomy and physiology; functional specialization in the lower visual system as revealed by cerebral achromatopsia (color blindness resulting from brain damage) and akinetopsia (impaired motion perception); cortical plasticity in the visual system; spatial deficits in perception and action; and the implications of high-level visual deficits, including prosopagnosia (impaired face recognition), Charles Bonnet syndrome (complex visual hallucinations in blind areas of the visual field), blindsight (accurate responding to visual stimuli despite apparent inability to see them), and aphantasia (lack of visual imagery).

  • Description: Recent advancements in neuroscience, computational cognitive science and machine learning have led to new possibilities for understanding the mind and brain. With the current neural network modelling and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, scientists are able to decode neural representation to understand one’s internal mental state. In this course, we will discuss how to utilize the latest technologies, including voxel-wise encoding models, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs) and transformers, to model neural representations with a focus on vision. Students will read latest primary research articles and gain hands-on neural modelling experience. Also offered as AS.050.637

AS.050.349 (01) Second Language Acquisition TTh 3:00PM - 4:15PM Yarmolinskaya, Julia Krieger 111 Spring 2026
  • Description: First language acquisition is natural and seemingly effortless. The situation is reversed when one tries to learn another language. This course discusses in what ways first and second language acquisition (SLA) differ and how individual differences of the learners as well as external factors contribute to the variability observed in rates and ultimate proficiency of second language learning in children and adults. We will discuss such topics as Universal Grammar access in early and late SLA, first language influence, critical periods, possibility of native-like attainment, and language attrition. Also offered as AS.050.649.

AS.050.357 (01) Sociophonetics MW 12:00PM - 1:15PM Renwick, Margaret Krieger 111 Spring 2026
  • Description: An introduction to the emerging field of sociophonetics, which lies at the interface between sociolinguistics and phonetics. Students will learn how to analyze phonetic data in service of research questions motivated by social factors including speakers’ region of origin, gender, ethnicity, or other characteristics. Extensions will be made to articulatory phonetics, speech perception, and phonological formalizations. Knowledge of linguistics and phonology/phonetics, including the International Phonetic Alphabet and basic acoustic phonetics, is strongly recommended. The course will draw material from textbooks, scholarly articles, and hands-on phonetic analysis culminating in final projects on topics chosen by students. It is recommended that students have successfully completed AS.050.325 Phonology I prior to enrollment in this course.

AS.050.358 (01) Language & Thought TTh 9:00AM - 10:15AM Hale, John; Koval, Pasha Krieger 309 Spring 2026
  • Description: Have you ever wondered about the relationships between language and thought? Philosophers, linguists, psychologists, evolutionary theorists and cognitive scientists have too and this course will survey the current thinking on this matter. Classical papers such as those by Whorf and Sapir, more recent philosophical papers by people such as Fodor and Dennett, and recent empirical work by linguists and psycholingists on the relationship between language and thinking in development and in adults will be covered. Discussions will focus on the theoretically possible relationships between language and thought and the empirical data that speak to these. Juniors and seniors only. Freshmen and sophomores by permission of instructor only.

AS.050.383 (01) Computational Social Cognition TTh 1:30PM - 2:45PM Isik, Leyla Krieger 134A Spring 2026
  • Description: Humans are a fundamentally social species with amazing capabilities beyond any other biological or artificial system. Yet the cognitive and neural computations supporting our vast social abilities are still largely unknown. This course will explore how modern AI and computational approaches (including convolutional neural networks, transformers, planning algorithms, and reinforcement learning) can be used to answer algorithmic questions about social cognition, in topics ranging from face perception to theory of mind and language. We will address questions such as “does social cognition rely on forward prediction?” and “is there a social brain?” This is a discussion-based course that will consist mainly of reading and discussing primary research articles with a few technical lectures interspersed.

AS.001.248 (01) FYS: Who Has an Accent? Dialects of English MW 4:30PM - 5:45PM Renwick, Margaret Krieger 134A Fall 2026
  • Description: Language is at the heart of human interaction. What are the linguistic habits that unite or divide us? This First-Year Seminar introduces students to dialects of English speakers around the world. Students will explore the major properties that cross-cut different varieties of English, including regional or socially-driven accents of North America, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia, as well as other World Englishes. Particular attention will be paid to pronunciation, so students will practice the International Phonetic Alphabet and learn acoustic analysis through hands-on activities, but discussion will also focus on dialectal differences in word choice, sentence structure, and linguistic meaning. We will engage with known and emerging varieties of English by drawing on academic sources, multimedia materials, and real-world experience. Who speaks with an accent? Everyone!

AS.001.253 (01) FYS: The Drama of Artificial Intelligence MW 1:30PM - 2:45PM Flombaum, Jonathan; Gruenhut, Johanna Gilman 288 Fall 2026
  • Description: From the rise of machine consciousness to the ethics of automation, artificial intelligence has captured the human imagination. This First-Year Seminar explores how playwrights and theater artists engage with AI as a dramatic subject, a creative tool, and a lens for examining the human condition. Through an interdisciplinary approach, and co-taught by faculty in Psychological and Brain Sciences and Theatre, students will analyze plays and performances that grapple with the hopes and anxieties surrounding AI. Works such as Karel Čapek’s R.U.R. (which introduced the word “robot”), Jordan Harrison’s Marjorie Prime, Jennifer Haley’s The Nether, and Nick Payne’s Constellations will serve as key texts alongside contemporary plays such as Julia Cho’s The Language, Rolin Jone’s The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow, The Effect by Lucy Prebble, and Photograph 51 by Anna Ziegler. We will also discuss experimental performances that integrate AI technologies.

AS.001.289 (01) FYS: Origins of Language - Creation, Acquisition, and Invention TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM Kocab, Annemarie Shriver Hall 001 Fall 2026
  • Description: Any list of human accomplishments will include natural language. While every human society has a language, no other animal has a communication system with this scope and complexity. How do languages emerge and evolve, and how are they learned? What happens when a child is born into an environment with no accessible language (e.g., deaf children who are born to hearing parents who do not know a sign language)? In this seminar, we’ll explore how children acquire – or even create – language in different environments. Case studies include international adoptees, blind children, deaf children, and autistic children. We’ll also examine real-world cases like homesign systems, pidgins and creoles, and Lengua de Señas Nicaragüense (also known as Nicaraguan Sign Language). We’ll also discuss languages which have been consciously and painstakingly designed (Game of Thrones, Avatar, etc.), constructed international systems (Esperanto, International Sign), and large language models (e.g., ChatGPT4). This course invites students to think critically about what language is, where it comes from, and variation in human experiences.

AS.050.251 (01) Cognitive Principles of Artificial Intelligence TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM Hu, Jennifer Krieger 111 Fall 2026
  • Description: The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most powerful—and controversial—breakthroughs of our lifetime. Some say that large language models, like ChatGPT, are oracles that will render human thought obsolete. Others say that these models are “stochastic parrots” with no real understanding of the text they produce. Who is right? And what would it even mean for a machine to be able to think and use languages like humans do? This course will give students the tools to answer these questions and critically analyze AI through a grounding in cognitive science, with a focus on language. Topics will include the technical foundation of language models, human language learning, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, reasoning, creativity, and how AI use is affecting our own minds. Strongly recommended: prior course in programming and/or probability theory.

AS.050.308 (01) Acoustic Phonetics MW 3:00PM - 4:15PM Renwick, Margaret Krieger 134A Fall 2026
  • Description: This course explores theories of speech sound generation in the human vocal system, in order to learn the relationships between discrete linguistic classes of sounds and their articulatory and acoustic manifestations. Foundations for these theories include an understanding of the anatomy employed during speech, as well as principles of airflow and pressure, which are united in the source-filter theory of speech production. As speech unfolds in time, the resulting acoustic signal is altered according to the vocal tract’s configuration, leading to characteristic acoustic manifestations for vowels and consonants. These phonetic cues, in turn, ground formal phonological representations via distinctive feature theory. The course includes a practical introduction to measurement of the acoustic correlates of speech sounds.

  • Description: This course provides an introduction to the fields of first and bilingual language acquisition by looking at questions such as the following: Can the grammar of a native language be learned solely on the basis of noticing statistical correlations among words? How does native language acquisition explain — or is explained by — the universal properties, shared by all languages, of words and grammars? How does being exposed to multiple languages from birth affect language acquisition and what happens when a child is not exposed to any language early in life? This is the first part of a two-part course sequence on first and second language acquisition.

AS.050.365 (01) Cracking the code: Theory and modeling of information coding in neural activity TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM Bonner, Mick Krieger 134A Fall 2026
  • Description: One of the most foundational concepts in neuroscience is the idea that neural activity encodes information about an animal’s sensory environment and internal mental states. This idea is closely connected to the concept of mental representation in cognitive science and philosophy, whereby the mind is proposed to contain internal symbols that represent things in the external world. There have been many fascinating discoveries about how neural signals encode information, but we are still far from a comprehensive theory of neural representation. Recent major developments in neuroscience and machine learning have opened up a new world of possibilities for investigating the underlying principles of information coding in the brains of humans and other animals. In this course, we will discuss primary research articles on neural representation and information processing, and students will implement computational analyses that address issues in these domains. We will mostly focus on vision as a system that illustrates broader principles of information processing in the human brain. The reading material will include work from philosophy, neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and computational modeling. The topics covered include mental and neural representation, neural tuning, population coding, information theory, encoding and decoding models, dimensionality reduction, computational models, deep learning, and other applications of machine learning in neuroscience. Enrollment is limited to Juniors and Seniors. While this class does not have formal prerequisites, programming experience (e.g., AS 250.205 Introduction to Computing) and mathematical preparation (e.g., AS.110.107 Calculus II) are essential. It is also highly recommended that students have previously taken introductory courses in cognitive or systems neuroscience (e.g., AS.050.203 Neuroscience: Cognitive) and machine learning or neural network modeling (e.g., AS.050.372 Foundations of Neural Network Theory).
