Before diving into conversations on Cognitive Science, we talk about what this research field generally covers. We outline the different topics, dive into the historical origin of the field and talk about our reasons to create a podcast on Cognitive Science. And – most boldly – we try to explain, what Cognitive Science is (though finding words for this is rather tricky).
