Overview

Cognitive Science is one of the most exciting and rapidly developing fields in modern science. The human mind is truly one of the great remaining frontiers of exploration. If you apply yourself, within a few months you could be making your own contributions to advancing the surrounding understanding of human thought and behavior.

Get Involved In Research!

Keep in mind that working closely with a lab can lead to independent study credit, a senior thesis, and letters of recommendation from faculty members. Many undergraduate students even publish papers in professional journals based on their work. It's never too early to start. While some labs require that you've taken statistics or research methods, many labs would be happy to accept enthusiastic students in their first year at Northwestern University.

Labs sometimes advertise research positions, and most wait for students to approach the lab. So be proactive. Go to the Cog Sci faculty page, and click on a few dozen faculty pages. Read their research descriptions, poke around their lab pages, and pick a few that seem most interesting to you
