Just back from a Dagstuhl seminar on Cognitive Sensing for Human–Computer Interaction — an excellent few days of discussion about how sensing technologies, interaction, human augmentation, and ethics.
This seminar aimed to bring together specialists and experts in HCI, machine perception, psychology, neuroscience, and AI to investigate the possibilities of digitally sensing, interacting, and enhancing user cognition. We considered the following research questions:
- Robust Interaction: How do we design robust cognitive interaction in and for everyday settings?
- Cognitive Augmentation: How can we augment and interact with user cognition while avoiding replacing innate skills with technology?
- Inclusivity, Diversity, and Reproducibility: How do we ensure inclusivity and diversity during cognitive interaction while accounting for individual cognitive diversity and improving the reproducibility of research results?
