Hello!

My name is Faris Chebib and I'd like to welcome you to hacking the neural.net.

I am an undergraduate student studying Cognitive Science at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver.

What is cognitive science?

Good question!
Cognitive science is the study of the underlying processes of thought, and in order to understand thought, cognitive scientists are well versed in a variety of subjects. I myself am taking classes focusing on linguistics, philosophy, psychology, and computational science. If you want to know more, you can check out the wikipedia entry on cognitive science or a post I've already written about cognitive science.

This site is focused on the discussions of research, advances, and research in cognitive science and academia in general.

Right now, this site is still in "beta" and is in the last stages of construction, so bear with us.

Until then, I hope you enjoy hacking away at your neural nets.
