Abstract

There is a "spaghetti" of wires when physiological sensors are used for augmented cognition tying a user down to a fixed location. Besides being visually unappealing, there are practical issues created by the "spaghetti" that have a negative impact on the adoption of sensor based augmented cognition technologies. A wireless sensor network can support sensors commonly used in augmented cognition. This paper describes the benefits and issues of implementing an ideal wireless network of physiological sensors using Bluetooth and other related types of networking approaches.
