Project IMACE is an independent, open, multidisciplinary research initiative dedicated to developing a rigorous understanding of cognition and its emulation in artificial systems.

It is not framed as a product or a benchmark exercise. It is a long-term research effort focused on making cognition legible, modular, and computationally meaningful.

At its core, Project IMACE asks:

How can artificial systems emulate cognition in a way that is structured, interpretable, and scientifically grounded?

Project IMACE brings together cognitive science, psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and computational modeling into one open research ecosystem.

All core definitions, policies, and research direction are maintained in the charter repository.
