Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary investigation of mind and intelligence, embracing psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, anthropology, and computational intelligence. How does our brain create our mind? Clinical neuroscience - looks at the disorders of the nervous system, while psychiatry, for example, looks at the disorders of the mind. The issues it gathers together involve philosophy of mind, moral philosophy, applied ethics, psychology and cognitive neuroscience, plus less centrally a couple of other areas (eg evolutionary biology, AI). €�It's a big deal for us,” says Professor Kurt Fischer, director of the Mind, Brain The first issue, which is already web published and slated for print publication this week, will feature five articles from top neuroscientists, biologists, and educators. It is no secret that such a sub-discipline of neuroscience has been introduced in an effort to bridge the manifest gap between the knowledge ascertained about the human brain and any explanatory relationship to human Were sociology merely the study of society defined by a group of conspecifics living together in communities and their interactions, then such a study could (and does in the case of all other species of life) exist perfectly within the realm of biology. What is the connection between our biology and our thoughts? Mind, Brain, and Education, a new journal released this week, is the first focused exclusively on the emerging field relating biology and cognitive science with education. Since Darwin we have known that evolution has shaped all organisms and that biological organs—including the brain and the highly crafted animal nervous system—are subject to the pressures of natural and sexual selection. I was recently Finally, the fourth important trend in cognitive science today is greater appreciation of the social dimensions of cognition, which may seem go in the opposite direction from the biological trend of cognitive neuroscience but is actually compatible with it. The field of cognitive neuroscience is actually quite old.
