Cognition and Cybernetics

Abstract

Humans acquire knowledge through their central nervous system and models of this process are the first connection between cognition and cybernetics. Taking this as its starting point, this article examines parallels between human psychology and the central nervous system, and models of computer systems; both are required to receive, process and interpret information. The author discusses the human neural system and neural nets and how these can be likened to Computer‐Aided Knowledge systems.
