The Cognitive Aging Laboratory

Mike Ferguson is a third-year computer science major in the Engineering School, double majoring in cognitive science, with a concentration in philosophy along with a minor in English. He has a passion for artificial general intelligence, and believes in order to recreate a mind with a computer, one must understand human cognition, and how it changes over time. His wishes to attend MIT after graduation for a Ph.D. in either cognitive science or computer science, and pursue research professionally and become a professor. He enjoys guitar, literature/writing, and playing with his Australian Sheppard, Shadow.
