Welcome to the CogPO Wiki!

Here is where we will come to a consensus on the initial terms that will be included in our ontology of cognitive paradigms. Our starting point are the terms associated with the BrainMap Taxonomy.

We aim to decompose each Behavioral Experimental Paradigm Condition into its corresponding stimulus, response, and instructions:

• Stimulus
  • Stimulus Role
  • Implicit Stimulus
  • Explicit Stimulus
    • Stimulus Modality
• Response
  • Response Role
  • Covert Response
  • Overt Response
    • Response Modality
• Instructions

don't forget that I deleted response type! reclassify those as overt response! Each of these terms is categorized by a set of classes, which will increase in size as CogPO evolves.
