LABORATORY
CONSORTIUM for the ADVANCEMENT of COGNITIVE SCIENCE (CFACS)
CFACS was established to provide a common environment and vision for budding
and established scientists at Ohio University (and affiliated institutions) from which
to tackle with unprecedented scientific rigor and interdisciplinary fervor some of
the most fundamental unsolved problems in Cognitive Science and Psychology.
To this end, our core mission is to approach the study of the human and non-
human animal mind and brain with the same kind of methodological thoroughness
and definitional precision that physicists employ in their study of the physical
world: namely, via the development and testing of mathematical and
computational models of behavior and cognition, and via fastidious empirical
research. Our second goal is to use reliable, replicated, robust, and accurate
findings from the study of perception, conception, and memory to try to better
understand the nature of phenomena researched in fields such as Ethology,
Affective Psychology, and Clinical Psychology. The ultimate aim is to develop a
unified and precise science of the mind and brain in the spirit of the best
Psychophysics research.
