Augmented Cognition: A Special Issue of the International Journal of Human-computer Interaction

This special issue provides a sample of research that comprises the foundation of the emergent field of augmented cognition inspired fundamentally from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency program. Taken together, the contributions impart a sense of progress and constitute a first look at achievements from this very ambitious program of research in augmented cognition. In addition they convey results that range from improved instrumentation and methodology to demonstrations of enhanced performance under experimentally manipulated conditions.
