Cognitive Science

An IEEE ComSoc technical talk entitled “People and Tools: Applying Cognition Theories for Building Effective Tool Design in Breakdown Situations” had been successfully conducted in my company premise. The speaker was a Malaysian who is going to work in Airbus soon. I have recently read an article about Collaborative and Cognitive Networking. More or less, it likes making your device intelligent enough to learn from the environment and make adjustment accordingly. The speaker presented almost the similar concept and emphasized more on cross-discipline in solving daily problems. She even talked about Heidegger’s fundamental concept of thrownness and breakdown. Huh, too much....... it's always difficult to understand what philosopher said.

They copied the pat gua symbol from chinese?

Hmm, look like "Ying Yang" symbol. Perhaps, they want to emphasize that all the disciplines in this world are correlated with each others.
