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

For more information, please see the Aims of the CogPO Project.
