When IIT Gandhinagar became the first IIT in India to start the M.Sc. programme in Cognitive Science back in 2013, Prof. Jaison Manjaly (Associate Professor, Humanities and former Dean of Student Affairs) said, “IITGN would like to establish itself as one of the centres of excellence in cognitive science, which is accepted as one of the four pillars of knowledge of 21st century along with nanotechnology, biotechnology and information technology.”
This vision was able to acquire a successful tangible form as a result of continuous efforts and out-of-the box initiatives taken by distinguished faculty, staff and students of this Institute. Today, we have what is known as the Centre for Cognitive and Brain Sciences (CCBS) as one of the seven unique interdisciplinary research centres established with the aim of enhancing conversations across traditional disciplines.
A detailed story on this Centre was published on Medium which can be accessed here.
