Abstract :An overview of some aspects of a vast domain, located at the crossroads of physics, biology and computer science is presented: 1); During the last fifteen years, physicists advancing along various pathways have come into contact with biology insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(computational neurosciences); and engineering insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(formal neural nets);. 2); This move may actually be viewed as one component in a larger picture. A prominent trend of recent years, observable over many countries, has been the establishment of interdisciplinary centers devoted to the study of: cognitive sciences; natural and artificial intelligence; brain, mind and behaviour; perception and action; learning and memory; robotics; man-machine communication, etc. What are the promising lines of development? What opportunities for physicists? An attempt will be made to address such questions, and related issues.Keywords : Turk J Phys, 23, 1999, 29 38 Turk J Phys, vol 23, iss 1
