Abstract

EEG (electroencephalograph) provides information about the electrical fluctuations between neurons that characterize brain activity, and measurements of brain activity at resolutions approaching real time. On the other hand, cognitive architectures such as ACT-R would explain how all the components of the mind work together to generate coherent human cognition. Thus EEG/ERP (event-related potential) and ACT-R will provide two aspects to explore the cognitive processes and their neural basis. In this paper, we present a case study by combining EEG/ERP and ACT-R for investigating human computation mechanism. In particular, we focus on two digits addition tasks with or without carry, and systematically perform a set of behavior and EEG experiments, as well as with the help of ACT-R simulation. Preliminary results show the usefulness of our approach.
