Cybernetics and brain simulation
In the 40s and 50s, a number of researchers explored the connection between neurology, information theory, and cybernetics.
Cybernetics: Merging machine and man. By Michael Bay and Matt Ford. CNN.com (April 18, 2006). "'We are the species that goes beyond our limitations,' says futurist Ray Kurzweil.

Teaching Cybernetics instead of Psychology
All this suggests that our ideas about psychology are still developing so rapidly that it wouldn't make sense for us to select any current 'theory of thinking' to teach.
Statistics represents the best example of a transdisciplinary idea that has found appeal in almost all areas of human endeavour, but cybernetics, small world networks and chaos and complexity theory also meet the definition.
Nobert Wiener published Cybernetics, a landmark book on information theory. "Cybernetics" means "the science of control and communication in the animal and the machine."
