Enhancing Human Cognition - Livestream

Computers and smartphones are generally considered to be tools that enhance productivity. But while they have put the world’s knowledge at our fingertips, people need additional skills in order to be successful and realize their goals. This talk will explore how future personal digital devices may help us with issues such as attention, motivation, behavior change, memory, creativity, communication, and emotional regulation. Dr. Maes will present her research on wearable and immersive systems that in minimally disruptive ways can help people strengthen or complement some of these “soft skills.”
