در طول حدود سه دهه ای که از "تولد" علوم شناختی به عنوان یک رشته مستقل می گذرد، این رشته توانشته است در تقریبا تمام دانشگاه های بزرگ جهان خود را تثبیت نماید.  اگرچه هنوز هیچیک از دانشگاه های ایران علوم شناختی را به صورت مستقل تدریس نمی کنند، علاوه بر پژوهشکده علوم شناختی، پژوهشگاه مطالعات فیزیک نظری و ریاضی دو نهادی هستند که به طور مشخص در زمینه های پژوهشی و آموزشی علوم شناختی فعالیت دارند. فهرستی از دانشگاه های جهان که به تدریس و تحقیق در علوم شناختی و یا شاخه های آن می پردازند به ترتیب الفبای نام آنها در زیر می آید:

Chiba University was founded in 1949, unifying several regional former national colleges and schools such as Chiba Medical College and Chiba Normal School. Its fundamental mission since then has been, as encapsulated by the inscription on the University Bell, ad alteriora semper (always toward the higher), to equip students with the ability to make mature and informed judgments while nurturing and guiding their creativity. Pursuing these goals of excellence has resulted in Chiba University becoming one of the leading academic research centers of Japan.

This part-time study international and interdisciplinary Master's Program aims to educate participants about the consequences of an aging workforce and of rapid knowledge change, and how insight available in the social and behavioral sciences can help to maintain productivity and innovation. The program has been especially developed to provide further training to individuals working and/or qualified in domains such as Human Resource Development, Organizational Development, Consulting, Management, Training, Administration. With this added qualification, participating executives can return to their corporation or institution and help individuals in the organization as well as the organization itself to transform in response to the challenges of aging and fast knowledge turnover in modern societies. The program in Lifelong Learning, Knowledge Management, and Institutional Change seeks to bridge traditional divisions between academic disciplines and between academic and applied questions. It focuses on cognitive, social and personality development of the adult employee as well as on the characteristics of the employing organization and how both are interrelated. Finally; the program informs about the effects of this interrelation on lifelong learning efforts and the success of Knowledge and Human Resource Management at the organizational level.
Degrees Offered:

The research which is integrated in the B and B school does not have its focus on all possible behavioral and brain disorders but restricts itself in its goals. In the first place, there is not a strong emphasis on basic neuroscience as such, but basic neuroscientific research is related to neuroclinical and biobehavioural, cognitive and biosocial problems. A second constraint has to do with the nature of behavioral phenomenona and brain/behavioral disorders: there is a great diversity of conditions in which the brain, psychological functioning, cognitive processes or behaviour are implied. It is therefore of utmost importance to constrain the research to a limited number of research lines, in order to improve the probability of relevant scientific discovery and progress. The concentration within B and B is on three major research lines,namely 1) Cognition, 2) Motor functions and movement and, 3) Emotion and affect. There are strong interrelations between those lines, such as for instance neurodegeneration, depression and anxiety in cognitive disorders and dementia, interactions between cognitive and affective processes, etc.

Students following this MSc programme in Cognitive Artificial Intelligence will acquire fully developed skills in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and a thorough knowledge of recent research findings. The programme consists of both teaching and research, and focuses on the integration of knowledge about the human mind and knowledge about machines. The interaction between these two areas of knowledge may be summed up as 'constructing by understanding and 'understanding by constructing'. MSc students will learn to model knowledge of the human mind to construct an artificial system; and to model knowledge about machines to better understand the human mind. Modeling will be the core activity of the programme, in order to bridge the gap between theory and experiments.
