Swarm Cognition is the juxtaposition of two relatively unrelated concepts that evoke, on the one hand, the power of collective behaviours displayed by natural swarms, and on the other hand the complexity of cognitive processes in the vertebrate brain. Recently, scientists from various disciplines suggest that, at a certain level of description, operational principles used to account for the behaviour of natural swarms may turn out to be extremely powerful tools to identify the neuroscientific basis of cognition. In this paper, we review the most recent studies in this direction, and propose an integration of Swarm Cognition with Artificial Life, identifying a roadmap for a scientific and technological breakthrough in Cognitive Scie
