Specialized Tracks in Cognitive Science

As discussed in the page on the BA in Cognitive Science, each student is expected to follow a coherent set of nine courses in a particular area of study, the specialized track. On this page (currently under development), we intend to present some model plans of study for various subfields of Cognitive Science.

At the moment, the only model track available is for Perception.
