[ACT-R-users] ACT-R: any work combining cognition with motion capture/musculoskeletal simulation?

[Kevin Gluck]

Michel,

The intersection of capabilities you describe below aligns well with combinations of our interests at the Institute for Human & Machine Cognition<https://www.ihmc.us/>. We have a small, enthusiastic, and (hopefully) growing ACT-R research group, as well as a broad organizational commitment to research in Human Healthspan, Resilience, and Performance, as well as a distinguished research history in exoskeletons for human assistance and augmentation.

I will follow up with you in a separate email to find a time for an initial discussion.

Best regards,

Subject: [ACT-R-users] ACT-R: any work combining cognition with motion capture/musculoskeletal simulation?

Dear members of the ACT-R users list,

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

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.

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

Best wishes,
