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.
