  Informatics studies all aspects of the structure of natural and artificial
information systems. Theoretical and abstract approaches to information have
made great advances, but human information processing is still unmatched in
many areas, including information management, representation and understanding.
Neurocognitive informatics is a new, emerging field that should help to improve
the matching of artificial and natural systems, and inspire better
computational algorithms to solve problems that are still beyond the reach of
machines. In this position paper examples of neurocognitive inspirations and
promising directions in this area are given.
