Augmented cognition- explorations

As I mentioned, I decided that I wanted to explore the topic of augmented cognition. But what is augmented cognition?

Kruse and Schmorrow (2005) define it as follows:

The goal of Augmented Cognition research is to create revolutionary human-computer interactions that capitalise on recent advances in the fields of neuroscience, cognitive science and computer science. Augmented Cognition can be distinguished from its predecessors by the focus on the real-time cognitive state of the user, as assessed through modern neuroscientific tools. At its core, an Augmented Cognition system is a 'closed loop' in which the cognitive state of the operator is detected in real time with a resulting compensatory adaptation in the computational system, as appropriate.

A leader in developing augmented cognition is the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The video below explains their vision of how it can be applied. The scenario takes place in the year 2030.
