Abstract: Based on the deep analysis of the theory of the thinking and intelligence studies,the concept of the thinking computation was presented for the first time, and its definition, main research contents,research approaches, and application areas were given. On the basis of the multidiscipline intercross integration of the cognition science, the encephalic science, and the neuroscience, and etc., in combination with the methology and the approach of the artificial intelligence study, putting the emphases on the studies of the imagery, the creativity, and the indefiniteness of the thinking, using the parallel model involving the logic thinking and the image thinking, the thinking computation studies the complex mechanism of the logic inference and the image inference to realize the high level hominine machine intelligence.

Key words: artificial intelligence, logic inference, machine intelligence, thinking computation, cognition science, image inference
