Neurocognitive Informatics Manifesto
This paper proposes a new field to inspire better computational algorithms for problems currently beyond machine capabilities, relevant for AI researchers.
This paper introduces neurocognitive informatics as an emerging field to bridge the gap between artificial and natural information processing systems. It aims to improve artificial systems by drawing inspiration from human information management, representation, and understanding.
Informatics studies all aspects of the structure of natural and artificial information systems. Theoretical and abstract approaches to information have made great advances, but human information processing is still unmatched in many areas, including information management, representation and understanding. Neurocognitive informatics is a new, emerging field that should help to improve the matching of artificial and natural systems, and inspire better computational algorithms to solve problems that are still beyond the reach of machines. In this position paper examples of neurocognitive inspirations and promising directions in this area are given.
