His work with cybernetics influenced Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead, and through them, anthropology, sociology, and education. [ 35 ] In the mathematical field of probability, the " Wiener sausage " is a neighborhood of the trace of a Brownian motion up to a time t , given by taking all points within a fixed distance of Brownian motion.

Cybernetics is the transdisciplinary study of circular processes such as feedback systems where outputs are also inputs. It is concerned with general principles that are relevant across multiple contexts, [1] including in ecological, technological, economic, biological, cognitive and social systems and also in practical activities such as designing, [2] learning, and managing.
