Augmented cognition is an interdisciplinary area of psychology and engineering, attracting researchers from the more traditional fields of human-computer interaction, psychology, ergonomics and neuroscience. Augmented cognition research generally focuses on tasks and environments where human-computer interaction and interfaces already exist. Developers, leveraging the tools and findings of neuroscience, aim to develop applications which capture the human user's cognitive state in order to drive real-time computer systems.〔〔 In doing so, these systems are able to provide operational data specifically targeted for the user in a given context.〔D. Schmorrow and A. Kruse, “DARPA’s Augmented Cognition Program-tomorrow’s human computer interaction from vision to reality: building cognitively aware computational systems,” Human Factors and Power Plants, . . . , pp. 1–4, 2002. (). Available: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/absall.jsp?arnumber=1042859〕 Three major areas of research in the field are: Cognitive State Assessment (CSA), Mitigation Strategies (MS), and Robust Controllers (RC). A subfield of the science, Augmented Social Cognition, endeavours to enhance the "ability of a group of people to remember, think, and reason."〔Ed H. Chi. 2009. Augmented social cognition: using social web technology to enhance the ability of groups to remember, think, and reason. In ''Proceedings of the 2009 ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of data'' (SIGMOD '09), Carsten Binnig and Benoit Dageville (Eds.). ACM, New York, NY, USA, 973-984. DOI=10.1145/1559845.1559959 http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1559845.1559959 〕 == History == In 1962 Douglas C. Engelbart released the report Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework which introduced, and laid the groundwork for, augmented cognition. In this paper, Engelbart defines "augmenting human intellect"〔 as "increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems."〔 Modern augmented cognition began to emerge in the early 2000s. Advances in cognitive, behavioral, and neurological sciences during the 1990s set the stage for the emerging field of augmented cognition - this period has been termed the "Decade of the Brain."〔 Major advancements in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) have been pivotal in the emergence of augmented cognition technologies which seek to monitor the user's cognitive abilities. As these tools were primarily used in controlled environments, their further development was essential to pragmatic augmented cognition applications.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Augmented cognition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
