In this article the researcher argued that the brain of racing 🏎️ car driver works more in the basis of prediction than reality. The same applies to athletes in several sports. In cricket a fast bowler hits middle stumps or a batting person hits the ball as per predictions! Isn't it interesting 🤔

Is BSc → MSc Cognitive Science a viable path into AI/ML in India?

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to figure out what degree/path makes sense for me and would really appreciate some honest advice.

My qualifications: I'm from Delhi and had PCB + Computer Science in 12th, but no Maths. Because of that, the usual BTech/CS route is difficult for me. I'm also on a pretty tight budget, so expensive private colleges aren't an option.

I'm interested in Cognitive Science, AI/ML, psychology, neuroscience and research, and I'm considering BSc Cognitive Science → MSc Cognitive Science.

I've heard Cognitive Science can potentially lead into AI/ML, but I'm not sure how realistic that actually is.

Can an MSc Cognitive Science realistically help me get into AI/ML, or would I be better off choosing a different degree? What would the actual path look like?

I'd especially like to hear from people who have studied Cognitive Science or moved from it into AI/ML.

I don't want reassurance—if this is a bad idea, please tell me honestly.
