ABSTRACT
The Big Data era offers multiple sources of data, with measurements that contain
a variety of information in large volumes. For example, neuroimaging data from
a participant might be complemented with a battery of personality tests and a set
of cognitive-behavioral data. At the same time, with brain imaging equipment
more widely accessible the number of participants is unlikely to remain limited
to a handful per study. These advancements allow us to investigate cognitive
phenomena from various angles, and the synthesis of these perspectives requires
highly complex models. Cognitive science is slated to update its set of methods to
foster a more sophisticated, systematic study of human cognition.
