FAC: International Conference on Foundations of Augmented Cognition
2005-
Held as part of the HCI International Conference
Summary: Augmented Cognition is an emerging field of science that seeks to extend a
user's abilities via computational technologies, which are explicitly
designed to address bottlenecks, limitations, and biases in cognition and to
improve decision making capabilities. The goal of Augmented Cognition science
and technology is to develop computational methods and neurotechonology tools
that can account for and accommodate information processing bottlenecks
inherent in human-system interaction (e.g., limitations in attention, memory,
learning, comprehension, visualization abilities, and decision making), and
can extend, the information management capacity of individuals working within
their dynamically changing, stressful operational environments. The conference
objective is to provide an international forum for the dissemination and
exchange of scientific information on theoretical, generic, and applied issues
of Augmented Cognition.
