Cybercognition

Cybercognition is the interdisciplinary study of interactions between artificial systems and cognitive processes, with the aim of replicating, augmenting, or surpassing human cognitive functions. This field merges artificial intelligence (AI), neuroscience, psychology, and advanced computational systems to design and implement technologies that simulate or enhance thought processes such as perception, reasoning, memory, and decision-making.

Unlike traditional AI, which focuses on task-specific algorithms, cybercognition aims to emulate the flexible and adaptive characteristics of biological cognition. It draws on insights from cognitive architectures, neuroplasticity, and emergent behaviour to create systems capable of learning, understanding, and interacting with complex environments in ways that mirror or extend human capabilities.
