Cyberneticist Cyberneticist A cyberneticist or a cybernetician is a person who practices cybernetics. Heinz von Foerster once told Stuart Umpleby that Norbert Wiener preferred the term "cybernetician" rather than "cyberneticist", perhaps because Wiener was a mathematician rather than a physicist. The word cyberneticist was used by Nicolas Rashevsky who began as a theoretical physicist, Robert Rosen, who began his career as a mathematician, regarded Neuro cybernetics—and more generally Biocybernetics—as fields closely allied to Mathematical Biology and Mathematical Biophysics in which control theory and dynamical system theories also play significant roles. Today "cybernetician" is preferred by members of the American Society for
Wiener series by Norbert Wiener used in signal processing. Given a system with an input/output pair formula_1 where the input is white noise with zero mean value and power A, we can write the output of the system as sum of a series of Wiener G-functionals formula_2 In the following the expressions of the G-functionals up to the fifth order will be given: formula_3 formula_4 formula_5 formula_6 formula_7 formula_8 formula_9 formula_10 formula_11 Wiener series In mathematics, the Wiener series (or "Wiener G-functional expansion") originates from the 1958 book of Norbert Wiener. It is an orthogonal expansion for nonlinear functionals closely related to
