Chaudhary (2016): brain compute r in terface s for communication and. Brain computer interfaces (bcis) use brain activity to control external devices, thereby enabling severely disabled patients to interact with the environment. Studying the mind: aim of cognitive science: explain how people think. This will be useful in many dimensions: education, engineering, computers, politics. Cog science proposes that people have mental procedures that operate on mental representations to produce thought and action: different kinds of mental representations, such as rules and concepts, foster different kinds of mental procedures. Kant: rationalism + empiricism = knowledge depends on both sense experience and the innate capacities of the mind. Then experimental psychology came (wundt), but then was overtaken by behaviourism (watson) I skipped the rest cuz it seems irrelevant. Primary method: experimentation with human participants: they need a theoretical framework: do this by forming and testing computational models intended to be analogous to mental operations.
