I propose that a new net group, "net.cogsci" be formed, for discussions on topics in Cognitive Science. At present, three related groups do exist, but their focus is different: net.ai is for AI-related discussions that are computer science oriented, net.cog-eng focusses on cognitive engineering aspects (like human-computer interaction), and net.philosophy restricts itself to philosophical discussions that span even into religion, ethics, science, etc. Some of the topics that would be relevant for net.cogsci are: Cognitive Psychology, Computational Linguistics, philosophical issues related to cognition, etc. Of course, nomenclature can be thrashed out. Any comments? Jay Ramanathan Decision Systems Lab Univ of Pittsburgh Pgh, PA 15260 USA

Earlier, I posted this to net.news.group alone. I realize now that maybe it should go to some more relevant groups. Hence, I repeat my earlier posting.
