Perspectives On Cognitive Informatics*

Abstract: From a scientific perspective explaining how the brain thinks is a big goal. Cognitive informatics studies intelligent behavior from a computational point of view in terms of updated research efforts and progresses of brain science and neuroscience. Cognitive informatics is the interdisciplinary study of cognition. Cognition includes mental states and processes, such as thinking, reasoning, remembering, language understanding and generation, visual and auditory perception, learning, consciousness, emotions, etc. In this paper we will point out basic research topics of learning, memory, thought, language, and neural computing which are active fields related to cognitive informatics
