Augmented Cognition: Neuro, Cognitive and Behavioral Science Supporting Decision Makers and Their Real-time Individual Differences

CDR Dylan Schmorrow, Ph.D, Commander, Medical Service Corps, US. Navy/ Office of the Secretary of Defense

The past decade has been a tremendous period of technology development across the military in terms of systems providing military decision makers vasts amounts of information. Additionally during this time period, military decision scientists, engineers and practitioners have led numerous explorations and innovations focused on removing the burdens of all this technology and information so these military decision makers are not overwhelmed with data. Conceptually many have articulated the challenges of converting data to information and converting information to knowledge, but few have recognized the truly dynamic nature of the data as well as real-time differences across, and within, individuals. Thankfully, there has been a critical mass of energy focused on these problems and there is a growing interest in neurocognition. Recent works has clearly shown how neuroscience informs and improve the design of cognitive models and practical tools for the warfighter decision makers. At a foundational level, new understanding of neural mechanisms have been discovered in neural science to support our understanding of information phenomena in complex systems. Many challenges remain and scientists and engineers have just come to grapple with the work needed to truly provide they system level support that is needed. This work will also has significant implications for training and major achievements along these lines have been realized that will support both strategic and tactical level tasks. This presentation will present the history, current status and likely future directions in Augmented Cognition.

The Art of Battle Command

Past and future battle command differ more in hardware and equipment than in the art of using it successfully. The Plenary discuses:

1. • Forty-Five years of  personal Army observations
   

2. • The future, TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-3, “Battle Command”
   

3. • The unchanging requirements
   

4. • The unchanging problems
   

5. • Solutions/successes
   

6. • Human dimensions
