I'm intrigued by ACT-R, having just heard about it at a conference last week, and in particular, I'd like to find out if there is any work that uses ACT-R in conjunction with a musculoskeletal model of the human, while performing a specific activity (a human
operator). In other words, the cognitive processes of an operator of a system (welding, flight, athlete, clinical, military, etc) along with tracking of his/her gestures in conjunction with this system operation. I would like to couple </div>

I'm a biomedical engineer with interests in both medical simulation and human performance modeling, and I am trying to develop a hybrid human model toward a simulation of the human performance type. </div>

I will probably have more questions for you as my interest in this evolves. Thanks for your kind consideration. </div>
