Welcome to the CogPO Wiki!

Here is where we will come to a consensus on the initial terms that will be included in CogPO. We will start by defining the terms associated with the BrainMap Taxonomy. Also taken from BrainMap are entries that correspond to Paradigm Class and Behavioral Domain.

In creating an ontology of cognitive paradigms we aim to decompose each condition into:

• Stimulus
• Stimulus Modality
• Response
• Response Modality
• Instructions

For more information, please see the Aims of the CogPO Project. Also, please see CogPO's Wiki Policies.

Recent Tasks

• Begin discussion of some concepts/information with BFO, Neurolex (Jess)
  • e.g., sound and tones, various stimulus types and response types (behaviors)
  • save stimulus and response roles for smaller discussions
  • Have defined necessary properties for a term to be considered complete in CogPO
  • Defining Experimental condition as the first high-level concept.

• Work out an experiment model with KFED and OBI (Jess)
  • Can discuss stimulus and response roles, modality qualities etc. here
  • Working on this: Have downloaded OBI, made contact with OBI people, joined the OBI-developers mailing list, etc.
  • have a first experimental model in KFED
