This lecture series is
presented by NeuroTechEU, an alliance between eight European universities with the goal to build a
trans-European network of excellence in brain research and technologies. By following along with this
series, participants will learn about the history of cognitive science and the development of the field
in a sociocultural context, as well as its trajectory into the future with the advent of artificial
intelligence and neural network development. Long-standing paradigms in cognitive science and their
associated challenges are discussed, as well as the epistemological hurdles which continue to confront
researchers who investigate the mind, brain, and behavior.
