The theory/science of communication and control in the animal and the machine
Technology related to computers and Internet
The art/study of governing, controlling automatic processes and communication
The "art of steersmanship," Its principles apply whether the thing being steered is a mechanism or an organism [Source: Ashby, W R , An Introduction to Cybernetics, Third Impression, John Wiley and Sons (New York), 1958, pp 1-5 ] Ashby's concept of cybernetic complexity requires closed or impredicative loops of causality [Steve Kercel, Dec 19, 2000]
The marriage of machine and flesh, integrated by advanced microprocessors Limbs, eyes, digits, vital organs and other body parts can be replaced by machinery Most people feel that metal is better than flesh, that flesh is weaker but flesh is cheaper Cybernetics are expensive, and not common Some soldiers receive cybernetic enhancements but on the street, its cheaper to have a new arm cloned from your body's own cells rather than slap a mechanical reconstructed prosthetic arm on
The field of study of communication and control processes in biological, mechanical and electronic systems
The study of control within a system, typically using combinations of feedback loops This can be within machines or living structures First order cybernetics relates to closed systems, second order includes the observer perspective and third order looks to how these coevolve
The study of information processing, feedback, and control in communication systems
The study of methods of communications and controls which are common to machines and to living organisms
The study of control processes in mechanical, biological, electrical and information systems
"The branch of science concerned with control systems and comparisons between man-made and biological systems " (Collins) " the study of communication within the living system " (Crystal, 1990)
{i} science of communication and automatic control systems in relation to both machines and living things
Cybernetics is a branch of science which involves studying the way electronic machines and human brains work, and developing machines that do things or think rather like people. the scientific study of the way in which information is moved and controlled in machines, the brain, and the nervous system (kybernetes , from kybernan ). Science of regulation and control in animals (including humans), organizations, and machines when they are viewed as self-governing whole entities consisting of parts and their organization. It was conceived by Norbert Wiener, who coined the term in 1948. Cybernetics views communication and control in all self-contained complex systems as analogous. It differs from the empirical sciences (physics, biology, etc.) in not being interested in material form but in organization, pattern, and communication in entities. Because of the increasing sophistication of computers and the efforts to make them behave in humanlike ways, cybernetics today is closely allied with artificial intelligence and robotics, and it draws heavily on ideas developed in information theory
The comparative study of human and machine processes in order to understand the similarities and differences
an emerging field of study that explores the integration of the human nervous system and human-made technological devices, such as microchips, robotic components, "nano"machines, and electronics
The theoretical study of communication and control processes in biological, mechanical, and electronic systems, especially the comparison of these processes in biological and artificial systems From Greek kubern , governor and kubernan, to govern
(biology) the field of science concerned with processes of communication and control (especially the comparison of these processes in biological and artificial systems)
n 1 The theoretical study of communication and control processes in biological, mechanical, and electronic systems, especially the comparison of these processes in biological and artificial systems
A name coined by Norbert Weiner in the 1950s to describe the study of feedback control systems and their application Such systems were seen to exhibit properties associated with human intelligence and robotics, and so was an early contributory to the theory of artificial intelligence
  n   The theoretical study of communication and control processes in biological, mechanical, and electronic systems, esp the comparison of these processes in biological and artificial systems **
The study of communication systems in both man and machines Cybernetics has been traditionally applied to machines, computer systems and computer software Cybernetics can also be applied to the individual, the family (as in the family systems models) and social systems such as communities and societies
A term coined by Norbert Weiner, meaning the study of communication, feedback, and control mechanisms in living systems and machines
The study of how electrical-mechanical devices can duplicate actions of the human body
(1) [current usage] The study of control systems, from the simple mechanical governors on steam engines to the most advanced neural-net feedback systems
The study of human control functions and the mechanical and electronic systems designed to replace or emulate them, including computers "Cyber," as a prefix, denotes anything related to computer environments, especially things that involve extensive interaction by the user
Disciplines of Study [DoS]
The art/study of governing, controlling processes and communication
The scientific study of the control processes of electronic, mechanical, and biological systems The mathematical study of the way in which the information and data exchange takes place
a study of the control processes in biological and artificial systems Cybernetics reduces the field to a system that maintains itself by the mutual influence of its parts
deriving from the Greek word for steersman (kybernetes), was first introduced by the mathematician Wiener, as the science of communication and control in the animal and the machine (to which we now might add: in society and in individual human beings) It grew out of Shannon's information theory, which was designed to optimize the transfer of information through communication channels (e g telephone lines), and the feedback concept used in engineering control systems (Principia Cybernetica)

cybernetic
A "paranormal" whose abilities derive from being attached to mechanical devices This can range from the "brain in a jar" which is attached to a robotic body, to a human being with a limb or organ which has been replaced with a mechanical version, often superior in some ways to the organic original The height of such modifications is usually that which is called biotechnic enhancement, where nearly all the functions and components of the body are improved upon, but the body remains basically human Such technology is extremely rare, usually requiring an intelligence and education beyond that humanly possible to conceive and construct
