Cognitive communication is an information communication activity with “human” as its core. Since the birth of human beings, human brain and sensory organs are the material basis of cognitive communication, and “human” is the initial media form. Human cognitive communication has experienced the development and prosperity of pre-oral communication, oral communication, written communication, electronic communication and Internet communication. With the support of technical tools, human beings constantly extend the tentacles of sensory media, explore the incomparably rich objective world and the mysterious subjective world of human beings, and shape the social form and individual mind. In this historical process, the most primitive physical sensory media is the main driving force to guide human communication activities across time and space from beginning to end, and influences the communication activities of human society.
