From page 85...
... Artificial intelligence techniques inspired by human cognition are being used to control robots and provide realistic partners and opponents in virtual reality training. Thus, these disciplines are starting to converge to create an empirical and computational framework in which to understand, model, and simulate human behavior at multiple levels of abstraction, from detailed neural simulations to high-fidelity cognitive models of behavior, to complex intelligent agents acting and interacting in dynamic environments.
