In essence, by offering an extensive training data in the form of the experimental database, we want to convince modelers to use the programming interface that allows their models to interface with other modules developed within the project. As the database of modules grows, this in itself will be an incentive for conforming to the programming interface we will define, since this will allow modelers to reuse and test modules already developed by other groups... In our earlier studies of classical conditioning we have developed an extensive database of the design and results of conditioning experiments. The development of this database started in 1996 and now contains approximately 200 different experiments. The database is stored in a way that allows the experimental descriptions to be used as input to computer simulations of learning by classical conditioning. As a part of the Ikaros project, we want to extend the experiment database by adding more experiment types and by translating..
