From Cognitive Atlas

Welcome to the Cognitive Atlas Project.

The Cognitive Atlas is a collaborative knowledge building project that aims to develop a knowledge base (or ontology) of mental processes, mental tasks, and brain systems. The project is led by Russell Poldrack of the UCLA Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry & Biobehavioral Sciences, and is a collaboration with the UCLA Center for Computational Biology and UCLA Consortium for Neuropsychiatric Phenomics. Collaborators on the project include Niki Kittur, Robert Bilder, Arthur Toga, D. Stott Parker, and Fred Sabb,

We are currently developing a system for collaborative editing of the knowledge base. Once this is developed we will recruit researchers from the cognitive science and neuroscience communities to collaborate in its development. If you are interested in participating, please send a message to cognitiveatlas@gmail.com expressing your interest.
