In BOINC, it is in the area of Cognitive Science and category called Cognitive science and artificial intelligence.[3] It can only operate on a 64-bit operating system, preferably on a computer with multiple cores, running a Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux operating system. This project is not compatible with mobile devices, unlike other projects on BOINC.

Research focus

edit
  • N-2 Repetition: understanding how people have a harder time returning to a task from another one
  • Observing how people read through their eye movement for the purpose of helping people reduce eye strain and processing what they read better and faster.
  • Modeling decision-making: resolving around decisions made from visual processing (focus and filtering)
  • Integrated Learning Models (ILM) to create algorithms based on how people learn and make decisions
  • How the brain performs tasks sequentially and simultaneously by measuring its blood flow[4]

Problems

edit
  • Its status is inactive.[5] However, it is "not down or closed,"[6] as its servers are still running.[7]
  • The projects are long; prolonged amounts of computing time can overheat a computer. The solution is to stop work on the project until the computer cools down.[8]
  • It is subject to power outages, as seen on October 7, 2018[9]
  • When the website will be out of beta mode is unknown, as it has been in beta since 2007[10]
