Augmented CognitionWhat is it?
• To utilize neurophysiologic measures in concert with workload reduction algorithms as part of an effort to improve information processing ability (3)
• A constellation of desires, concepts, and goals aimed at maximizing human cognitive abilities through the unification of humans and computational systems (1)
Augmented CognitionWhy is it important?
• About 80-85% of accidents in the Military are caused by human error directly attributed to failures of cognitive performance (3)• Ability to increase net thinking power (1)• Ability to contribute to clinical applications
for purposes of restoration and remediation of neurological disorder or damage (1)

Augmented CognitionUSAMRMC CPJDRP NMFCT – 5 Year Plan
• Goals• Define ideal neurophysiologic measures for
use by Future Force Warriors in Mounted and/or dismounted platforms• Identify neurophysiologic indices capable of
measurement through currently available unobtrusive miniaturized technology • Begin identifying strength of correlations
between neurophysiologic measures and specific operational performance metrics
Augmented CognitionUSAMRMC CPJDRP NMFCT – 5 Year Plan
• Goals (cont.)• Continue identifying significant correlations
between neurophysiologic measures and specific operational performance metrics and refine algorithms to procude “impairment indexes” of biological stressors• Make assessment and write proposal
delineationg objectives and milestones of a new Army Technology Objective (ATO)
Augmented CognitionUSAMRMC CPJDRP NMFCT – 5 Year Plan
• Goals (cont.)• Develop an ATO for real-time monitoring of
neurophysiologic measures prior to and during operational performance to allow assessment of biological cognitive state• Plan test and evaluation activity with most
promising neurocognitive monitoring technology
