Any cog sci people in the house?

[Math Is Hard]

I'm interested in hearing from people who have either majored in Cognitive Science, or have taken Cognitive Science courses. This is a very interdisciplinary field, and I would like to know what your primary interest (or area of focus) in studying Cog Sci was. I would also like to know how you related it to your career, or to your major field of study if you are a non-major. Additionally, what books on this subject were of particular interest to you?

Thanks,
MIH

Can't wait for those Cognitive Science club parties. I am sure they'll be a blast. We'll have such a great time. Both of us.

I never noticed how BIG it is inside these threads.. and it echoes, too...

Hello... Hello... Hello...

I didn't major in it, but I am an interested amateur. You should PM hypnagogue on this, actually.

Here are some resources to get you started:

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
CogPrints
Dictionary of Philosophy of Mind

Thanks, Tom. I will check out those links! I might actually be taking my very first cog sci class this winter, so I am not quite sure what I'll be getting into.
Hypno will probably be getting some very confused PMs from me in the near future.

ok, I should probably leave this thread now. Kinda spooky in here. I'll turn out the lights before I leave.
