Augmented Cognition

With the advent of new wearables, novel sensing modalities, and portable neuroimaging technologies, we're presented with new opportunities to enhance human cognition. New systems in a range of form factors can help us direct and optimise our natural function, expand the capacity or velocity of that function, and extend their capabilities. In this special issue, the three featured articles illustrate how pervasive technologies are being applied to cognition, from critical thinking to affect recognition to use of music for theraputic and wellbeing purposes.
