Toward an automated science of the mind
Quick summary
arXiv:2603.20988v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Artificial Intelligence is starting to automate scientific discovery, raising the prospect of an automated science of the mind. We chart this field around four challenges: representing experiments, generating synthetic behavior, synthesizing models, and closing the loop to discover psychological theories.
