Cybernetics is the science of communication and control. He also explores the self-perception of people and social groups. This concerns how human activities and communication affect collective behavior. The social context of cybernetics is vast and growing. Cybernetics is a dynamic and diverse field of research. New trends and scientific discoveries will influence the field of cybernetics in the coming years.

Cybernetics is a portfolio word that combines cybernetic with biology. American mathematician John von Neumann published Automata, an article on cybernetics, in which he outlined the fundamental paradigm of the theory: there are situations that are controlled by a central computer. Von Neumann applied the term «automaton» to any device or system that «can be analyzed like automata».

Cybernetics takes a holistic approach and works with communication at an elementary level. Early cybernetics also explored how language affects the way people interact. Topics of how society and people perceive and interact with information technology are of great interest. A special issue of «Cybernetics» examines the meaning and development of the word «cybernetics». These reviews shed light on this rather little-known branch of science. Despite these theoretical advances and new developments, this area is still poorly understood. Only 10% to 30% of researchers working in this field publish more than three articles a year. A 2006 study found that there is a dead end in attracting the attention of leading journals to new research proposals.

The applied part of cybernetics deals with the control and movement of systems, as well as how to regulate or control their behavior. Along with systems theory, statistics, and operations research, cybernetics is one of the three main disciplines of science and technology and the first scientific discipline to deal with controlling and influencing the behavior of a system. The main goal of the broad field of cybernetics is to understand and define human intelligence. According to cybernetics, the process of understanding how to build and maintain the human brain and its intellectual capacity is complex and multidimensional.
