Most people have experimental experience in the way I use these words due to the way cogsci and psych are taught. Modellers seem to emerge despite not because of most programmes — because the focus seems to be almost always empirical.

So unless my experiences are somehow outlier ones (which they may be I realise I'm in a very small minority of people within cog/psych) I believe it's already the case that experimental experience is a baseline experience all PhDs have.

But maybe modellers are not who you are talking about, in which case I guess my points are moot.

Of course we also are speaking of modellers. How would you position yourself? As a (theoretical) computational modeler?

I've models where I capture the data, reproduce the data others have collected. I also have ones where I predict data that doesn't exist while I did the modelling. I also do qualitative modelling and/or theoretical modelling. But like I said I usually work with others' data.

I also do experiments on models to further understand the models themselves. Like science on a deep network.

This is why I am not sure in all this where I would fit in.

Above I made a typo. I meant to link to http://redistrict.science — what kind of modelling is that? It uses data but it doesn't really predict anything in and of itself.

I'd be say/guess in cognitive (neuro)science you span the part of the spectrum ranging from theoretical modeling to data modeling. (the 1 dimension is a simplification ofc). And your gerrymandering work is an example of mathematical/computational modeling for social engineering?

Yeah, exactly. BTW TIL because I have no idea social engineering meant what you just used it as! I only knew it as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_(security) …

*have = had. We're both struggling with typing. I'm on a laptop though so no autocorrect to blame just my own brain.
