“…But in order to achieve a truly symbiotic relationship between human cognition and computer, unimodal methods described above are not sufficient. Instead, multidimensional measurements are needed (e.g., Skinner et al, 2014;Schwarz and Fuchs, 2017). This means that several technologies are combined to track down different aspects of human cognitive and emotional functioning.…”

“…For example, by combining measurement of autonomous nervous system activity like cardiac activity and respiration rate with eye tracking, it has already been possible to increase task complexity based on individual learning (Fortin-Côté et al, 2018) and estimate cognitive workload (Nourbakhsh et al, 2013). Skinner et al (2014) further suggest that in an ideal case the methods used to detect user state should be unobtrusive. They note that current state-of-the-art requires developing multimodal means to detect a human state in such a way that the devices and analyzing tools are optimized to work outside the laboratory (e.g., wearable devices and developing toolkits to interpret the data on the go).…”

Human augmentation is a field of research that aims to enhance human abilities through medicine or technology. This has historically been achieved by consuming chemical substances that improve a selected ability or by installing implants which require medical operations. Both of these methods of augmentation can be invasive. Augmented abilities have also been achieved with external tools, such as eyeglasses, binoculars, microscopes or highly sensitive microphones. Lately, augmented reality and multimodal interaction technologies have enabled non-invasive ways to augment human.In this article, we first discuss the field and related terms. We provide relevant definitions based on the present understanding of the field. This is followed by a summary of existing work in augmented senses, action, and cognition. Our contribution to the future includes a model for wearable augmentation. In addition, we present a call for research to realize this vision. Then, we discuss future human abilities. Wearable technologies may act as mediators for human augmentation, in the same manner as eyeglasses once revolutionized human vision. Non-invasive and easy-to-use wearable extensions will enable lengthening the active life for aging citizens or supporting the full inclusion of people with special needs in society, but there are also potential problems. Therefore, we conclude by discussing ethical and societal issues: privacy, social manipulation, autonomy and side effects, accessibility, safety and balance, and unpredictable future.

Exocortex is a hypothetical technology where the human brain can connect to a brain implant or a computational environment which is in the state of a wearable device, using two-way brain-computer interface, in order to augment the cognitive powers of the human brain such as perception, storage, recollection and processing. Exocortex is expected to be a part of everyday life in the 2030s. Exocortex technology is supported by parallel technologies such as brain reading, uploading knowledge into the brain from the outside, brain-computer interface, brain-to-brain interface, which are now undergoing prototype applications. In this study, by discussing the potential of exocortex technology in its use for learning processes, as a result of handling it with the “learning experiences management” approach, the opportunities it provides specifically for lifelong learners are examined. In the results and recommendations section of the study, a foresight is given for the scientific research projects that can be performed for this purpose.
