Summary on Grant Application Form |

The proposal addresses a number of methodological difficulties in the specification and evaluation of computational models of cognitive and neural systems. We will develop a rigorous methodology for coupling empirical work in computational and laboratory cognitive science, embed the methodology in a set of computational tools, and distribute the tools to the scientific community.The proposal represents a novel integration of established empirical methods with the methodologically immature fields of cognitive and neural systems modelling. The interdisciplinary impact of cognitive and neural modelling will be considerably enhanced by strengthening its methodology, and in particular by adopting methods familiar to, and trusted by, empirical scientists.The proposers have extensive experience in both cognitive modelling and empirical laboratory work, and in the problem of coupling the two effectively. They have successfully developed a general system for the development and testing of cognitive models, and have applied this in a range of domains. As such, they are ideally placed to carry out this work.
