Course title:	Advanced topics in cognitive science
Name in Polish:	Advanced topics in cognitive science
Organizational unit:	Faculty of Psychology
Course groups:	(in Polish) Cognitive Science
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	4.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:	The course is aimed to familiarize participants with the current trends in research and controversies in cognitive science at the advanced level. The course will help students (1) broaden their knowledge of cognitive processes, their cerebral foundations, and computational models, (2) understand the main debates within contemporary cognitive science, (3) clarify their own research interests, chose their educational pathway and master's seminar.
Full description:	The course is aimed to familiarize participants with the current trends in research and controversies in cognitive science at the advanced level. The course will help students (1) broaden their knowledge of cognitive processes, their cerebral foundations, and computational models, (2) understand the main debates within contemporary cognitive science, (3) clarify their own research interests, chose their educational pathway and master's seminar. Course begins with an outline of current controversies around the architecture of cognition, methods, and aims of cognitive science. Further, the issues of elementary representations and cognitive processes which enable the orientation in the physical and social environments will be taken up, ending with the big issue of consciousness. Then, some methodological issues concerning current experimental methodology (especially replicability issue), main approaches in computational modeling (deep learning, Bayesian, predictive learning, formal modeling of brain connectivity), and neuroimaging will be discussed. Debate on the radical alternatives for the mainstream cognitive science („4E”: embodied, embedded, extended and enacted cognition) is planned as summing-up theoretical issues of cognitive science. The final classes will be devoted to the application of cognitive science (human/brain-computer interfaces, education, design, etc.)
