What is CogArena?

CogArena is a benchmark that tests AI agents on behavioral experiments through a web browser. Tasks are sampled widely across cognitive science—from attention and memory to decision-making, reinforcement learning, and social cognition.

Agents must interpret visual stimuli, provide responses, just like a participant in an experiment might.
