This is the second annual all-hands meeting of the Temporal Dynamics of Learning Center (TDLC), which investigates time as a crucial element in the learning process and integrates the study of learning dynamics across multiple time scales - from milliseconds, to life-long learning.

This new science of the temporal dynamics of learning...

Professor: Gary Cottrell

Cognitive Science 200 is an interdisciplinary seminar of changing topics used as a mechanism for Ph.D. students in the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program and the Cognitive Science Department to achieve breadth. This quarter, the topic is based on our new NSF-sponsored Science of Learning Center, The Temporal Dynamics of Learning Center (TDLC). The...

"In order to understand such a very complex system like the brain, we need to have techniques for being able to probe the brain."

An exploration of different techniques used to study brain function on multiple scales, both spatially and temporally.
