Intelligent Technology

As humans, we may be intrigued by the complexity of any daily activity. How does it actually work to perceive, to act, to decide, and to remember? On the one hand, if we understand how our own intelligence works, we can use this knowledge to make computers smarter. On the other hand, by making computers behave more like humans, we learn more about how our own cognition works. Its purpose is twofold: to gain a better understanding of the neuro-cognitive basis of human cognition, and to further the realisation of human-like and user-friendly cognition in artificial systems. The AI Master's programme at Radboud University has a distinctly cognitive focus. This cognitive focus leads to a highly interdisciplinary programme where students gain skills and knowledge from a number of different areas such as mathematics, computer science, psychology and neuroscience combined with a core foundation of artificial intelligence. The Intelligent Technology specialisation focuses on using state-of-the-art AI techniques to make smarter artificial systems that are meant to facilitate or interact with humans.
