When was the field of Cognitive Science develop?
Cognitive science
Simply put: Cognitive Science is the interdisciplinary study of cognition in humans, animals, and machines. It encompasses the traditional disciplines of psychology, computer science, neuroscience, anthropology, linguistics and philosophy. The goal of cognitive science is to understand the principles of intelligence with the hope that this will lead to better comprehension of the mind and of learning and to develop intelligent devices. The cognitive sciences began as an intellectual movement in the 1950s often referred to as the cognitive revolution.
Quantum psychology
Quantum psychology is an emerging field of study in contemporary psychology first named and described by author Robert Anton Wilson in his 1990 book "Quantum Psychology". The term later appeared in a 1993 book by Stephen DeBerry. It is also widely used by Amit Goswami, an American theoretical nuclear physicist and author, the founder of the centre for Quantum Activism. The field of quantum psychology aims to apply the principles of quantum physics and quantum mechanics to the study of brain, mind and consciousness. Recent advances in quantum biology have given a significant boost to this field. In cognitive psychology and neuroscience the investigation is centred around the study of quantum cognition, quantum brain dynamics, and quantum mind. The main purpose of this emergent research is to merge the classical neuro-physiological models of the human brain with the quantum models that can additionally account for cellular brain activity, mind and consciousness. Classical scientific method known as ontological dualism and empiricism relies intrinsically on the idea that objects to be measured and observed exist independently of the observer. Quantum theory, however, implies that the observer and the observed phenomena are innately linked.
