ABSTRACT

            Psycoinformatics is a present paper that provides insight into emerging research. This also emphasize the cooperation between the disciplines of psychology and computer science by handling large data sets derived from heavy used device, as smartphones or online social networking sites, to shed light on a large number of psychological traits, including personality and mood. New challenges are waiting for the psychologists in light which result in “Big Data” sets, because classic psychological methods will only be able to analyse the data derived from ubiquitous mobile devices, as well as other everyday technologies. As a result, psychologists must enrich their scientific methods through the inclusion of methods from informatics. The paper provides a clear view of one area of this research field, dealing mainly with social networks and smartphones. Additionally, we also highlight how data derived from Psychoinformatics can be in a meaningful way with data from human by neuroscience. We close the paper with some observations of areas for future research and problems that require consideration within this new discipline.
