Cognitive Science
Cognitive Science is the study of mind and intelligence; it is an interdisciplinary study which collaborates with psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy and logic. Human mind cannot be modeled using a single computational model, we need to examine different models to know the mechanics of it and thus the study of this field is vital in developing next generation systems.
