Springer Volume Published: Technology-Augmented Perception and Cognition
I am delighted to finally hold the tangible result of this collaborative, years-long effort in hand! Technology-Augmented Perception and Cognition is a compendium and tribute to the exciting ways technology enriches our capabilities. Published in the Springer Human-Computer Interaction Series, the volume integrates current research efforts, results, and visions from the fields of computer science, neuroscience, and psychology. It provides an overview of the state-of-the-art and future applications of how technologies assist and augment human perception and cognition.
Experts in the field share their research and findings on:
- Working memory enhancements
- Digitization of memories through lifelog archives
- The consequences of technology-induced disruptions and forgetting
- The creation and utilization of new human senses
- Ethical and security concerns that arise with augmentation technologies.
As technology weaves itself ever deeper into our lives, careful examination of its capabilities, risks and benefits is warranted. While this book focuses on the complementation and augmentation of human capabilities, it serves as a foundation for students, researchers and designers of technologies that push the boundaries of perception and cognition.
We stand on the shoulders of giants, some of which have contributed to this volume. Special thanks to the many contributors! And kudos to the WAHM series (Workshops on Ubiquitous Technologies for Augmenting the Human Mind) and the EU-funded project RECALL.
