The operation of cognitive data analysis processes is based on initiating cogni-
tive processes as well as other human life functions, which serve as the foundation
for building an intelligent information system.

The Object-Attribute-Relation (OAR) model
- combines methods of repre-
sentation, recording and analysis which take place in the human brain. It de-
scribes layers of the human memory with particular emphasis on the long-term
kind, as well as the layer of memory at which a dependency may appear
between various metaphors introduced. The OAR model demonstrates relation-
ships between human memory and knowledge using synaptic and neural junc-
tions. This model is used to describe mechanisms and processes taking place in
cognitive systems based on the occurrence of the above cognitive processes
(Fig. 2.4).

The operation of the OAR model is made possible by Wang defining the notion
of neural informatics (NeI).

The Neural Informatics model (NeI)
- understood as the new, biologi-
cal/psychological, interdisciplinary perspective on knowledge and information
representation taking place in the human brain at the neural level, illustrated us-
ing mathematical models. Neural informatics is a branch of cognitive informat-
ics which recognises human memory as the basis and foundation of intelli-
gence, whether natural or artificial.

The model of information representation in the human brain
- this model
attempts to demonstrate that any information reaching the human brain is
stored in the form of a certain representation which unambiguously belongs to
that information. Representations of this type are individual (for every person,
