Thanks for your kind reply. I'm keen to find out more about your group. Ben, copied here, is the expert in all things ACT-R related, while I'm familiar with OpenSim, and Michael is a board-certified neurologist. We only recently met at a conference, and this
theme of a hybrid human model is the central theme in our collaboration. </div>

I have a basic understanding of neurology as well, having done my PhD at the Montreal Neurological Institute and contributed to neurosurgery navigation I also teach a course on psychophysics of the visual system can drive software development. However my understanding
of cognitive modeling is in its infancy. </div>

My assumption is that if we model the operator function based on tasks (an ontological workflow), we can make the coupling with the functional simulation better posed. </div>

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">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 </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">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. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: black;">I will probably have more questions for you as my interest in this evolves. Thanks for your kind consideration. </span></p>
