About IIT Gandhinagar – CURIOSITY LAB – Camp CogSci 2022

How did humans become the most advanced species in the world? What happens to our brain when we daydream? Can gaming technology also be used for Autism rehabilitation? Why do we feel happy or sad while listening to music? What potential of the brain can we unlock with simple deep breaths? How do the brain and its many cells govern our behavior? How do skilled dancers make complicated body movements? Will Artificial Intelligence-based teacher robots start taking your classes in a few years?

Cognitive Science explores these questions to understand the most complex organ, the brain, and study the mind through various disciplines such as psychology, computer science, neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics, and anthropology. These disciplines shed light on cognition and cognitive processes such as perception, attention, decision-making, and problem-solving, which help us make sense of the world and interact with it.

Camp CogSci brings you closer to the intriguing workings of cognition, mind, and brain, with activities and sessions that introduce you to the possibilities that lie ahead!

Curiosity Lab invites inquisitive and curious learners, parents, and teachers to develop a deeper understanding of brain mind, consciousness, and behavior for personal and professional growth, making you future-ready, forever.
