Cognitive technology is one of the majors at the Laboratory of Computational Engineering. Teaching of cognitive technology is focused on the perceptual and neurocognitive mechanisms central to human communication. Understanding these mechanisms is needed when developing, for instance, novel information technology and human communication technology concepts. Cognitive technology is suitable for every student interested in human behavior and to those interested on research in the field. Teaching consists of lecture courses and related exercise works, aiming at offering information on the latest research findings on human communication mechanisms and their modelling especially for the students in technology. Cognitive technology is well supported by, for example, studies of language technology as a minor.
Note that the Laboratory of Computational Engineering takes also part in cognitive science and technology teaching network, Connet. Within the network, we are responsible for lecturing the course S-114.101 Cognitive Neuroscience.
Please note that it is possible to include some Connet courses as part of the major or minor studies in cognitive technology. Connet courses S-114.102 Philosophy of Technology and S-114.772 Mental and other representations can be included without a separate agreement. Please contact Connet assistant (connet@lce.hut.fi) if you choose other Connet courses. It is also possible to include Connet courses as freely selectable courses of Master's degree. More information can be found here (information only in Finnish). Note! The courses aren't listed in WebTopi.
