In this intensive course, the principles and methods of cognitive science are applied directly to problems of the workplace and of everyday life. "Hands-on" experience with experiments is provided by state-of-the-art computing, display, and simulation techniques that focus on such topics as video communication, human-computer interaction, control of complex systems, use of the World Wide Web, etc. Class meetings are devoted to reviews of the literature on a given topic, discussions of upcoming laboratory exercises, and analysis of data. In laboratory sessions, smaller groups meet to carry out the experiments using the specialized equipment available (e.g., driving simulators, virtual reality, etc.).
