Interdisciplinary fields

Furthermore, other modern disciplines known collectively as Earth system science approach the entire Earth as a system in its own right, which evolves as a result of positive and negative feedback between constituent systems: Meteorology describes, explains and predicts the weather based on the interaction of principally the ocean and atmosphere. Climatology describes and explains the climate in terms of the interaction of the litho-, pedo-, hydro-, atmo-, cryo-, and bio- sp ...

Broadly defined, geobiology is an interdisciplinary field of scientific research that explores interactions between the biosphere and lithosphere or atmosphere. Investigators from numerous fields are involved in geobiologic research, including, but not limited to, such disciplines as: paleontology, microbiology, mineralogy, biochemistry, sedimentology, genetics, physiology, geochemistry (organic and inorganic), and atmospheric science. One major subdiscipline of geobiology is geomicrobiology, an area of study that focuses on investiga ...

In the humanities and social sciences, area studies is interdisciplinary research and scholarship pertaining to a particular geographical or cultural region. The term exists primarily as a general description for what are, in the practice of scholarship, many heterogeneous fields of research. Fields are defined differently from university to university, and from department to department, but common area-studies fields include: Middle Eastern studies (or Near Eastern studies) Asian studies East Asian stud ...

Neuro cybernetics is a compound word of 'neuro', regarding to the common biological way to convey information within a organism by means of nerves, and cybernetics - the science of communication and automatic control systems in relation to both machines and living beings. Therefore neuro cybernetics, as the combination of both sciences, is a science that covers the integration of machines into the organism of a living being by realizing a intercommunication between the nervous system and artificial appliances. The best example for app ...

The capacity of computers to cope with massive amounts of information and interface with each other with very low latencies is continually increasing. The current efforts in the striving to advance human-computer interface technologies resulted in devices such as [VR] gloves, various kind of motion trackers as well as 3-D sound and graphic based systems. Those devices are capable of enhancing our ability to interact, along with novel approaches to user-interface-design, with vast amount of information in as natural way as possible, so that w ...

The ultimate goal of NC research is the technological implementation of major principles of information processing in biological organisms. To unravel the biological design principles, computer aided analyses of neuronal structure and signal transmission based on modern information theories and engineering methods are employed. The present research aims at probing cellular and network mechanisms of brain functions. Arthropod animals show varieties of adaptive behavior despite having only a tiny brain ("Microbrain") that comprises a mu ...
