AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the interest in Cognitive Science, particularly from individuals who have either majored in the field or taken related courses. Participants express curiosity about the interdisciplinary nature of Cognitive Science and seek insights into specific areas of focus, career applications, and relevant literature. While initial responses are sparse, one user suggests reaching out to a knowledgeable member for further guidance and shares useful resources, including the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and CogPrints. The conversation reflects a mix of enthusiasm and humor, with one participant preparing to take their first course in Cognitive Science.

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 :smile:

ok, I guess I was expecting this.
 
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.
 
gee.. I've guess never been in a thread all alone before...
I never noticed how BIG it is inside these threads.. and it echoes, too...

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

neat.
 
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. :biggrin:

ok, I should probably leave this thread now. Kinda spooky in here. I'll turn out the lights before I leave. :smile:
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
