This project represents an important innovation in the Cognitive Science field; no venture of this type has been attempted before. The first three weeks of the Institute will be comprised of courses at basic and advanced levels in constituent disciplines of Cognitive Science. Courses will be taught by both SUNY Buffalo faculty and faculty invited from other institutions. The fourth week will then be devoted to workshops and special conferences. Running through the four weeks, there will also be a special speaker series of prominent invited scholars. The Institute will provide an opportunity for many faculty and students to get an introduction to the field of cognitive science and to complement courses in their own disciplines at their home institutions. It is anticipated that participants will include undergraduate and graduate students, faculty associates, and researchers from industry and government. A special effort will be made to recruit students and participants from outside the United States, where systematic courses across the range of Cognitive Science disciplines are rarely offered. Participants may enroll in the courses for academic credit, if desired. Each course will meet for a total of 15 hours over the three weeks and will carry 1 semester unit of credit.
