greetings! It really depends on which subfield you are most interested in. UCSanDiego has a dynamite program, if you don't mind the uncertainty of attending a state univ. in an almost bankrupt state. USC has a program in neuroscience with Arbib's group doing modeling of various brain structures.  A psycholinguistics group that combines cognitive psychologists/linguists, a speech pathologist, and computer modeling. Carnegie Mellon has really neat stuff happening too, These are the only 3 I m immediately familiar with.  Anybody else?

 http://www.c3.lanl.gov/~rutvik/cogsci-prog.html has a collection of cogsci programs. Rutvik

Thanks. =========================================================================                  Ph.D.  Tracks  in  Cognitive  Science                     Center for Cognitive Science                State University of New York at Buffalo                                 June 1, 1995 1      De_script_ion Ph.D. study of Cognitive Science at the University at Buffalo consists of a special Cognitive Science Track in the Ph.D. program of each of the participating departments.  Participation in the track consists of five steps:    1.  Admission as a Graduate Student Member of the Center for        Cognitive Science;    2.  Taking the prescribed set of Cognitive Science courses;    3.  Attendance at colloquia of the Center for Cognitive Science    4.  Having an interdisciplinary, Cognitive Science dissertation com-        mittee.    5.  Writing a Cognitive Science-related dissertation. 2      Admission To become a Graduate Student Member of the Center for Cognitive Science, a student must be admitted into the graduate program of one of the participating departments.  This will be the student's home department.  In addition,  the student must be admitted into the Center for Cognitive Science.  For direct admission into the Center, send  a  copy  of  the  application  materials  you  are  sending  to  your prospective home department to:        Graduate Student Admissions Committee        Center for Cognitive Science        652 Baldy Hall        State University of New York at Buffalo        Buffalo, NY 14260-1010 For admission as a Graduate Student Member of the Center for Cog- nitive Science after admission to UB, send the following materials to the above address:    1.  A statement of purpose, including a tentative set of Cognitive        Science courses to be taken, endorsed by two faculty members        of the Center for Cognitive Science.    2.  A letter of recommendation from the student's major profes-        sor, who must be a faculty member of the Center for Cognitive        Science.     All Graduate Student Members of the Center for Cognitive Science are expected to be working on Cognitive Science Tracks in their home departments. 3      Financial  Aid Financial aid, in the form of Teaching Assistantships, Graduate As- sistantships, Research Assistantships, and Fellowships are available from the home department.  In addition, each year, the Center for Cognitive Science has a limited number of Graduate Assistantships and Fellowships. These are available only to students who have been admitted or who have been offered admission as a Graduate Student Member of the Center for Cognitive Science. To apply for a Cognitive Science Assistantship or Fellowship if you are already a Graduate Stu- dent Member, send a statement of purpose to the Center office and have at least one faculty member of the Center send a supporting letter of recommendation. 4      Participating  Departments The currently participating departments are listed below. For changes to this list, consult the Center office or the office of your home de- partment.    o Anthropology             o Communicative Disorders and Sciences    o Computer Science         o Linguistics    o Philosophy               o Psychology 5      Dissertation  Committee The dissertation committee must satisfy the requirements of the home department. In addition the committee chair (major professor) must be a faculty member of the Center for Cognitive Science,  and one other committee member must be a faculty member of the Center for Cognitive Science not from the home department. Satisfying this requirement  might  require  a  larger  dissertation  committee  than  is usual for the home department. 6      The  Graduate  Student  Association  for Cognitive  Science The Graduate Student Association for Cognitive Science provides an opportunity for graduate students interested in Cognitive Science to interact with each other. All Graduate Student Members of the Cen- ter for Cognitive Science are automatically members of the Graduate Student Association for Cognitive Science. Other interested graduate students may join. 7      Students  in  Non-Participating  Departments A graduate student whose home department is not one of the partici- pating departments listed in Section 4 may still pursue a Ph.D. Track in Cognitive Science. The student must satisfy all of the requirements listed in this document with the following modifications: Admission      The  student's  major  professor  need  not  be  a  faculty        member of the Center of Cognitive Science.  However, in ad-        dition  to  the  materials  listed  in  Section  2,  the  student  must        submit a letter from his/her department's Director of Graduate        Studies approving the student's intention to pursue a Cognitive        Science Ph.D. Track. Dissertation Committee            The committee chair (major professor)        need not be a faculty member of the Center of Cognitive Science,        but two members of the dissertation committee must be, and        they must be from different departments. Course Requirements           The 5 Cognitive Science courses other than        the required course must be from 3 different departments, and        no more than 2 can be from the same department. One of these        3 departments may be the student's home department if that        department has courses listed in Section 9 or Section 10. 8      Course  Requirements In addition to the requirements of the home department, each student in a Cognitive Science Track must take 6 Cognitive Science courses that carry at least 3 credit hours each.  One of these must be the required course (see below). At least 3 of the remaining 5 courses must be from outside the home department, and from at least 2 different departments.  At least 4 of the 5 non-required courses must be from the list of central courses given in Section 9. The final course may be from the list of elective courses given in Section 10.  At least 4 of the 6 courses must cohere with each other, and with the student's proposed dissertation research, as determined by the student and the student's major professor.  A cross-listed course may be considered to be in any of the departments that cross-list it, at the student's discretion. 8.1     Required Course The course required for the Ph.D. Tracks in Cognitive Science is:     o  Introduction to Cognitive Science,  crosslisted as CS 575 and        LIN 575. 8.2     Topical Areas At least 4 of the 6 Cognitive Science courses must form a coherent group.  As an aid in forming such a group of courses, we list below some Cognitive Science topical areas and some courses that fit within them. These lists are not meant to be definitive nor constraining. It is up to the student and the student's major professor to choose the 4 coherent courses according to the student's research interests.     o  Cognitive Neuroscience           -  BCP 534/PGY 524/PMY 617 Developmental Neurobiology           -  CDS 528 Neural Basis of Communication-3           -  LIN 592 Neurolinguistics           -  PSY 513 Biological _base_s of Behavior           -  PSY 629 Neural Mechanisms of Behavior           -  PSY 714 Functional Plasticity and Recovery in the CNS     o  Comparative Cognitive Systems       -  APY 654 Graduate Survey of Cultural Anthropology       -  CS 674 Computer Learning and Human Information Processing       -  LIN 538 Approaches to Semantics       -  LIN 582 Language and Cognition       -  LIN 581 Cognitive Foundations of Language       -  LIN 637 Cognitive structure of language       -  LIN 623 Seminar on Semantics of Space, Time, and Causation       -  LIN 603 Cross-Linguistic studies of language development       -  LIN 525 Typology and Universals       -  LIN 653 Universals       -  PSY 513 Biological _base_s of behavior       -  PSY 629 Neural mechanisms of behavior       -  PSY 635 Artificial intelligence       -  PSY 714 Functional plasticity and recovery in the CNS       -  PSY 715 Behavior genetics       -  PSY 881 Animal Cognition o  Concepts and Categories       -  APY 526 Cognitive and Symbolic Systems       -  APY 543 Cognitive Anthropology       -  CS 676 Knowledge Representation       -  LIN 538 Approaches to Semantics       -  LIN 582 Language and Cognition       -  LIN 509 Ethnolinguistic Field Methods       -  LIN 581 Cognitive Foundations of Language       -  LIN 637 Cognitive structure of language       -  LIN 623 Seminar on Semantics of Space, Time, and Causation       -  PHI 521-522 Survey of Philosophy of Science 1 and 2       -  PHI 523 Methodology of Natural Sciences       -  PHI 524 Methodology of social Sciences       -  PSY 611 History and systems of psychology       -  PSY 628 Foundations of psychological theory       -  PSY 718 Memory and cognitive development       -  PSY 727 Human information processing       -  PSY 639 Cognitive processes       -  PSY 728 Human memory o  Formal and Computational Systems       -  CS 572 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence       -  CS 596 Introduction to the Theory of Computation       -  CS 642 Techniques of Artificial Intelligence       -  CS 675 Natural Language Understanding       -  LIN 535 Syntax 2       -  LIN 614 Current Syntactic Theory       -  PHI 517 Introduction to Logic for Advanced Students       -  PHI 520 Topics in the Philosophy of Science       -  PHI 615-616 Logical Theory 1 and 2       -  PHI 619 Modal Logic o  Language       -  General Language            *  CS 675 Natural Language Understanding            *  LIN 515 Syntax 1            *  LIN 517 Psycholinguistics            *  LIN 525 Typology and Universals            *  LIN 528 Language & Cognition            *  LIN 535 Syntax 2            *  LIN 538 Semantics

I'm looking for graduate program in Cognitive Sciense. Coulg somebody give me any info? Thanks. =========================================================================                 State University of New York at Buffalo                       CENTER FOR COGNITIVE SCIENCE                         The Center's _object_ives A principal function of the Center for Cognitive Science at the  Univer- sity  at  Buffalo is to promote the development of research networks and of new research activities in cognitive science, both locally and across institutions.  To do this, the Center organizes colloquia, panel discus- sions,  research-group  presentations,  student-research  presentations, laboratory open houses , workshops, and conferences that bring together both members of the campus and invited visitors working on  cutting-edge issues  in  cognitive  science.   The  Center  helps  to establish novel cross-disciplinary _link_ups among faculty and students that may result in research  projects  and  grant  proposals,  and  it already serves as an umbrella for several ongoing active research groups.  It sponsors a Gra- duate  Cognitive  Science  Club,  composed  of  students  from different departments who meet regularly  to  discuss  current  cross-disciplinary issues.  It publishes a Research Report series in cognitive science that is widely distributed as well as exchanged for  comparable  series  from other institutions.  It provides a central meeting place, that serves as a nexus for cross-disciplinary communication. In addition, the Center is increasingly engaged in the development of an academic  curriculum  in cognitive science.  It has recently established an undergraduate special major leading to a B.A. in  cognitive  science. And  it  is planning further curricular development so that students can pursue training and, eventually, higher degrees in this  relatively  new field. The Center is currently organizing the first international Summer Insti- tute  in  Cognitive Science, to take place in July 1994.  This four-week educational program is intended to  provide  a  full  grounding  in  the entire  cognitive science discipline with both introductory and advanced coursework and numerous presentations, panel discussions, and  workshops involving prominent figures in the field.                             Research Groups A number of research groups investigating different areas  of  cognitive science  are  either  wholly  affiliated  with or closely related to the Center. (1)  The Discourse and Narrative Research Group.      In the Discourse and Narrative  Research  Group,  different  disci-      plinary  perspectives  converge to ascertain the organizing proper-      ties of various discourse genres, especially  narrative.   Composed      of  some  ten  Center faculty members and a like number of students      representing seven disciplines, the group applies  the  methods  of      linguistics  to  analyze the determining effects of the lexicon and      of grammar  on  the  organization  of  discourse;  the  methods  of      psychology   to  track  the  cognitive  processing  involved  as  a      discourse progresses; the methods of computer science to model  the      properties of discourse structure as well as the representation and      updating of the story world in an unfolding  narrative;  and  the      methods  of  the  field of communicative disorders to ascertain the      discourse  characteristics  of  autistic  or  other  communication-      impaired  individuals  and what this reveals about the structure of      standard discourse. (2)  The Spoken Language Research Group.      The Spoken Language Research  Group  includes  some  twelve  Center      faculty  members  and a comparable number of students, representing      mainly the fields of communicative disorders, linguistics,  neurol-      ogy, and psychology, and it encompasses the operation of seven dif-      ferent campus laboratories as well as one research  facility  in  a      teaching  hospital.   The group coordinates and integrates research      centered on the cognitive processes involved in the  physical  pro-      duction  and  reception  of  spoken  language  in both children and      adults and in both impaired and unimpaired functioning.  The  group      has  recently been awarded a major training grant that will support      graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in the  development  of      their skills in spoken language research. (3)  The SNePS (Semantic Network Processing System) Research Group (SNeRG).      The SNePS Research Group consists of three faculty members  of  the      Department of Computer Science and about 15 computer science gradu-      ate students.  Its long-term goal is the design and construction of      a  natural-language-using  computerized  cognitive  agent,  and the      research in artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, and      cognitive  science  necessary  for  that  endeavor.  The three-part      focus of the group is on knowledge representation,  reasoning,  and      natural-language understanding and generation.  The group is widely      known   for   its    development    of    the    SNePS    knowledge      representation/reasoning  system, and Cassie, its computerized cog-      nitive agent. (4)  The Vision Group.      The Vision Group includes three Center faculty  members  and  seven      additional  faculty  members representing the fields of physiology,      biophysics, computer science,  psychology,  anatomy,  biochemistry,      ophthalmology and engineering.  The purpose of the group is to pro-      mote interdisciplinary research in the field of vision through sem-      inars  and a team-taught graduate course in vision.  Recent activi-      ties of the group include the sponsoring of a  workshop  on  vision      and the writing of the book _The Science of Vision_, just published      by Springer-Verlag. (5)  The Cognitive Neurosciences/Neurolinguistics Research Group.      The   Cognitive   Neurosciences/Neurolinguistics   Research   Group      includes  faculty from Neurology, Linguistics, Psychology, and Com-      municative  Disorders.   Graduate  students  from  Linguistics  and      Psychology  also  participate in the activities of this group.  The      research of this group addresses a number of issues surrounding the      neuro-psychological  and  neurophysiological  basis of language and      cognition.  A major research interest is the longitudinal study  of      the  linguistic,  cognitive, and neurological development of normal      and brain damaged infants.  This research involves neuronal plasti-      city,  language  development,  and the sensitivity of physiological      methods in detecting developmental changes in  brain  organization.      The  effects  of  early  hormone exposure on brain organization and      subsequent cognitive and linguistic abilities are also  being  stu-      died.   The group was founded initially by the collaboration of two      programs: the Division of Developmental  and  Behavioral  Neurosci-      ences in the Department of Neurology and the Department of Linguis-      tics. (6)  The Research Group on Conceptual Structure.      A newly formed research group will be investigating the  common  or      distinct  properties  of conceptual structure as this is manifested      in different cognitive systems such as those of  language,  reason-      ing, memory, perception, and cultural cognition.  The University at      Buffalo is particularly rich in researchers involved with the  more      conceptual  or qualitative end of the cognition spectrum, and it is      anticipated  that  faculty  from  anthropology,  computer  science,      linguistics, philosophy, and psychology will be working together in      the new research group on conceptual structure.                          Contacting the Center For a detailed brochure about the Center and its members  or  for  other information  regarding  cognitive  science at the University at Buffalo, the Center for Cognitive Science can be contacted as follows:     Center for Cognitive Science     652 Baldy Hall     State University of New York at Buffalo     Buffalo, NY 14260     telephone / fax / e-mail:     Dawn Phillips (Administrative Assistant):     (716) 645-3794     fax: (716) 645-3825     This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it     Leonard Talmy (Director):     (716) 645-3795     This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it                                 Faculty ANTHROPOLOGY Charles Frake ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it )      cognitive anthropology; cognition and practice; ethnographic seman-      tics; conceptualizations of time and space Barbara Tedlock ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it )      ethnoastronomy; cognitive modeling  within  cultural  anthropology;      cultural organization of time & space; cognitive structure of trad-      itional healing systems BIOPHYSICS K.
