Convergence-Divergence Process,ientific convergence, technology integration, and divergence of knowledge and applications into new fields. This cycle brings about synergism, which stimulates further discovery and innovation. The convergence–divergence cycle is a typical process in science and technology (S&T) development. It cons

NBIC,rocess in the first part of the twenty-first century is the convergence and emergence of four foundational and transformational S&T fields, briefly called nano-, bio-, information, and cognitive (NBIC) technologies. Each of these four foundational S&T fields (a) has a basic building block, that is,

Cognitive Technology,ecade of the Brain” in the 1980s led to the grassroots movement, “Decade of the Mind,” in the first decade of the twenty-first century and most recently the White House BRAIN initiative (Sacktor 1996; Albus et al. 2007; Alivisatos et al. 2012). This public awareness was not always so. Indeed, scient

Nanotechnology-Neuroscience Convergence, in science and technology. They also provided a list of 20 visionary ideas for the next 10–30 years. According to their ideas, in the next 20 years, we expect to have humanlike intelligent robots, smartphones with real-time language translating function, and pocket-sized supercomputers through the
