The Cognitive Atlas: Toward a Knowledge Foundation for Cognitive Neuroscience

Abstract: Cognitive neuroscience aims to map mental processes onto brain function, which begs the question of what “mental processes” exist and how they relate to the tasks that are used to manipulate and measure them. This topic has been addressed informally in prior work, but we propose that cumulative progress in cognitive neuroscience requires a more systematic approach to representing the mental entities that are being mapped to brain function and the tasks used to manipulate and measure mental processes. We descri… Show more

“…In addition to this, the MCQ is a validated monetary discounting measure that has been widely used to assess discounting in the laboratory (Frederick, Loewenstein, and O'Donoghue, 2002), not only in experimental economics but also in a wide range of fields in the cognitive science. In fact, the version that we used for our main experiment-that is the 27-item MCQ, is listed in the Cognitive Atlas, a collaborative project that aims to provide a knowledge base for cognitive science (Poldrack et al, 2011). As a result, we considered this tool as a valid method to investigate delay discounting, also in terms of reproducible research.…”

“…Whilst the function categories applied in this review are reasonable from a psychology perspective, they may not constitute the most appropriate means of defining and organising the processes involved in design. This may be seen to mirror current ontological debates in psychology and neuroscience research, where efforts are under way to develop a shared ontology of processes and relationships [71]. Several design researchers have proposed ontologies, e.g.…”

“…MRI parameter attributes (parameters such as the echo time) were imported from the DICOM lexicon (Clunie, 2000). Currently, we use attributes in the experimental psychology classes to store labels from the cognitive atlas (Poldrack et al, 2011) or cognitive paradigm (Turner and Laird, 2012) ontologies, as those seemed too large to be imported fully in the classification.…”
