DESCRIPTION:Psychological research faces many intertwined challenges concer
 ning theory development\,\ncognitive and behavioral modeling\, measurement
  precision\, replicability of results\, and the\nethics of experimentation
 . A pressing question is: are our approaches to studying\npsychology suffi
 cient for (eventually) reaching goals such as predicting and explaining hu
 man behavior and consciousness? In this hackathon\, we employ a simulation
  approach to start tackling this question. In particular\, we create sever
 al “worlds” for researchers to investigate\, each following rules that
  become progressively more complex. These rules are informed by challenges
  that researchers face when studying\npsychological phenomena. For each wo
 rld\, an agent-based model is created and\noutput is provided to the teams
  of “scientists”. They are invited to figure out these\nrules for whic
 h they can use face-value data (e.g.\, number of agents)\, perform\nmeasur
 ements (e.g.\, movement speed of agents)\, and conduct experiments (e.g.\,
  manipulate\nthe environment of the agents).
