Cognitive enhancement: a review of technology a taxonomy of cognitive enhancement

Abstract

Cognitive enhancements encompass different interventions that seek to promote or extend certain cognitive functions. These include both physiological methods (such as pharmacological manipulations) and external systems (including wearables and software tools). Research in the area focuses on understanding how different interventions interact and improving individual cognitive capacities, but also in the integration of humans and technology towards improving problem resolution and collective intelligence. Ethical concerns might also arise from a widespread use of these enhancements. – AI-generated abstract.
