Augmented Cognition. Theoretical and Technological Approaches

This volume features selected papers from the 14th International Conference on Augmented Cognition, covering diverse topics in cognitive science and technology.

The book titled Augmented Cognition. Theoretical and Technological Approaches presents the refereed proceedings from the 14th International Conference on Augmented Cognition, which took place virtually in July 2020, as part of the 22nd International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction. Originally planned for Copenhagen, Denmark, the conference adapted to a virtual format due to the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing for a broader participation despite the challenges posed by the global situation.

Among the numerous submissions received, a total of 6326 were evaluated, resulting in the acceptance of 1439 papers and 238 posters for publication in the HCII 2020 proceedings. This volume comprises 21 carefully selected papers that delve into various aspects of augmented cognition, showcasing cutting-edge research and innovative approaches in the field. The contributions highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing our understanding of how technology can enhance cognitive processes.

The papers are organized into topical sections that cover cognitive modeling, perception, emotion and interaction; electroencephalography and brain-computer interfaces (BCI); as well as artificial intelligence and augmented cognition. The discussions presented in Augmented Cognition. Theoretical and Technological Approaches not only reflect the current state of research but also pave the way for future developments in the integration of cognitive science and technology.
