MIT BCS - Similar Programs

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I want to attend the Brain and Cognitive Sciences department at MIT. There is no other place/faculty/projects I have come across that I want to work with more! However, I know that MIT isn't exactly the kind of school you just apply to knowing you'll get in. I need to start looking at other programs to apply to as well since I probably wont get in :l I'm having trouble finding some though. Some schools have a cognitive science program (through psych) some a neurology program, some a computational cognitive program (very small, usually one group in a larger school of psychology). Are there any other MAJOR programs at MAJOR universities that are VERY close to BCS at MIT?</p>

<p>Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Berkeley’s Vision Science? Maybe?</p>

<p>I think thats one specific facet of AI and computer vision. Im looknig for a more cognitive approach + machine learning. Similar to this: </p>

<p>you may want to try HCI (human-computer-interaction/interface) Schools that DS attended had this course as only as upper level/second major/master’s level.</p>

<p>Note: This is for graduate studies!</p>

<p>it is a pretty broad subject field. Many schools call it by different names, some have institutes that encompasses the research. You may want to specify research areas in your search.</p>

<p>CMU, Toronto, Stanford, GT, UCB, Washington, WashingtonSL. </p>

<p>try <a href=“http://www.acm.org%5B/url%5D”>http://www.acm.org</a></p>

<p>You could also look at the IST Graduate program at Penn State. I’m not sure if it has as much a Neuroscience focus though it does have Cog Sci, HCI and AI.</p>
