We are designing and conducting experiments to test and refine the theory in both neuroscience and cognitive psychology working with colleagues in those disciplines. An initial paper on the theory is M. J. Healy and T. P. Caudell (2006) Ontologies and Worlds in Category Theory: Implications for Neural Systems= , Axiomathes, vol. 16, nos. 1-2, pp. 165-214. The only experiment appearing in a publication to date is one on an artificial neural network application, presented at IJCNN 2005 in Montrea= l (the results were presented also at CT06).
