Abstract

Augmented cognition could serve as an innovative rehabilitation approach for mild traumatic brain injuries, where issues with cognition, behavior, and affective responses are monitored in real-time and mitigation strategies are triggered to resolve performance or behavior issues. Such mitigations could guide individuals in addressing the current situation (e.g., performance decrement, undesired behavior, negative affective response), as well as provide rehabilitation support to improve performance and behavior in subsequent situations. This paper focuses on mitigation strategies that are suitable for an augmented cognition rehabilitation setting, with the goal of supporting recovery from suboptimal performance and providing rehabilitation tools in real-time, operational context.
