Cognitive Informatics (CI) is an emerging discipline that studies the natural intelligence and internal information processing mechanisms of the brain, as well as the processes involved in perception and cognition. CI provides a coherent set of fundamental theories, and contemporary mathematics, which form the foundation for most information- and knowledge-based science and engineering disciplines such as computer science, cognitive science, neuropsychology, systems science, cybernetics, software engineering, and knowledge engineering.
The development of classical and contemporary informatics, the cross fertilization between computer science, systems science, cybernetics, computer/software engineering, cognitive science, neuropsychology, knowledge engineering, and life science, has led to an entire range of the extremely interesting new research field known as CI [Wang, 2002a, 2003, 2004, 2006a, 2006b, 2007b; Wang et al., 2002, Wang and Kinsner, 2006; Patel et al., 2003, Chan et al., 2004, Kinsner et al., 2005, Yao et al., 2006]. CI is a transdisciplinary study of cognitive and information sciences that investigates the internal information processing mechanisms and processes of the natural intelligence generated by the human brain. CI is a cutting-edge and profound interdisciplinary research area that tackles the fundamental problems shared among aforementioned disciplines. Almost all of the hard problems yet to be solved in the above areas can be deduced onto the common root for understanding the mechanisms of natural intelligence and cognitive processes of the brain.
