Cognitive Science is a field of study aimed at understanding the nature of the human mind and the mental processes that underlie cognitive abilities. Philosophers, Psychologists, Anthropologists, Linguists, Neuroscientists and Computer Scientists have all approached the basic questions posed by the nature of mental processes in their own ways as part of the broader endeavours of their respective fields. Cognitive Science is distinguished from these traditional disciplines by its highly interdisciplinary approach. Aspects of cognition have to deal with various forms of uncertainty and ambiguity, an area that fuzzy logic (FL) has proven to be applicable.

If you or someone you know are engaged in FL-related empirical and conceptual studies aimed at assessing formal and computational models of various aspects of cognition, including (but not limited to) the areas of

• information-acquisition and information-processing mechanisms underlying cognitive abilities like perception, recognition, information storage and information retrieval
• learning and acquisition of approximate models
• language acquisition
• comprehension and production
• concept acquisition
• problem solving
• reasoning

• Databases and information retrieval
• Decision analysis
• Dynamic systems modeling & diagnosis
• Forecasting and prediction
• Hybrid intelligent systems
• Information granularity
• Intelligent control
• Intelligent information systems
• Machine vision
• Neuro biology
• Robotics and automation
• Signal processing
• System identification
• Virtual reality
