How much CS did you have to learn in order to be able to slog through this?
Most of these I’m not very familiar with, but I can definitely second the recommendation for Trends in Cognitive Sciences and Brain and Behavioral Sciences.
I actually considered getting a dead-tree subscription for TiCS, because it’s more likely that I read a physical journal I get to my home than something I have to look up online or in the university library. Unfortunately the price was rather insane.
Thank you!
How do you actually use these? I am used to googling terms for a specific question. Do you regularly look through these journals even if there’s not a specific question you have in mind?
Comment
For these journals, yes I do.
I’d recommend doing that, yes. (And do far too little of it myself.)
