The following resources detailing conferences, exhibitions, online initiatives and specialist information, act as a gateway to science research in Australia and internationally. Cognitive science is the discipline which attempts to understand the nature of thought. The major contributing fields include, philosophy, psychology, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience and anthropology. There are two standard computational approaches to cognitive science. The second is known as connectionism and understands thought processes as a set of connections between nodes in a distributed network.

In any case, one must not mistake defining things for knowing what they are. It was founded to promote scientific interchange among researchers in disciplines including Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Anthropology, Psychology, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Education.
