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.

In CopPO, a cognitive paradigm is represented by the concept of Behavioral Experimental Paradigm. Each Behavioral Experimental Paradigm is characterized by one or more Behavioral Experimental Paradigm Conditions and Behavioral Experimental Paradigm Condition Contrasts.

We aim to decompose each condition into its corresponding stimulus, response, and instructions:

Each of these terms is categorized by a set of classes, which will increase in size as CogPO evolves.

3D Objects	Fixation Point	Painful Stimulation
Abstract Patterns	Flashing Checkerboard	Points of Light
Acupuncture	Food	Pseudowords
Asian Characters	Fractals	Random Dots
Braille Dots	Heat	Reversed Speech
Breathable Gas	Infrared Laser	Shapes
Chord Sequences	Infusion	Syllables
Clicks	Letters	Symbols
Digits	Music	TMS
Electrical Stimulation	Noise	Tactile Stimulation
Eye Puffs	Nonverbal Vocal Sounds	Tones
Faces	Nonvocal Sounds	Vibratory Stimulation
False Fonts	Odor	Words
Film Clips	Pictures

Stimulus Role

Feedback	Non-Target	Reward
Target

Response Modality

Arm	Hand	Pelvis
Eye	Leg	Shoulder
Face	Mouth	Torso
Foot

Overt Response

Blink	Flexion or Extension	Saccades
Breath-Hold	Grasp	Speech
Button Press	Manipulate	Swallow
Draw	Micturate	Whistle
Drink	Point	Write
Finger Tapping	Smile Response

Instructions

Attend	Generate	Repeat
Count	Imagine	Rest
Detect	Move	Sing
Discriminate	Name	Smile Instructions
Encode	Read	Track
Fixate	Recall

Paradigm Classes

Currently, CogPO has defined 81 classes of paradigms:

CogPO Relationships

Proper curation of the above concepts required creation of a set of novel relationships:

has_stimulus	has_response	has_instructions
has_stimulus_modality	has_response_modality	has_contrast
included_in_contrast	includes_condition	related_to

Basic Formal Ontology

CogPO uses a number of terms from BFO:

object aggregate	process aggregate	role
fiat object part	quality
