Cognitive Science
From The Transhumanist Wiki
From the SL4 Lexicon:
Cognitive Science:
Field of study concerned with the brain (especially the human brain) and its functions, including high-level thought and consciousness. At the lowest level of abstraction, involves the study of neurons and neurotransmitters, proceeding up to the level of modules and prefrontal cortex integrative functions. Cognitive Science is a vast and complex field, and is ultimately more relevant to the study of the Singularity than human history or culture. See also Evolutionary Psychology.
