In these proceedings of the July 2005 conference, contributors describe their research, theoretical work and applications in augmented cognition, a field that combines computer science and information processing capabilities with new understanding of how humans think. Topics in the field of human information processing include multimodal interfaces in human-computer interaction, cognitive foundations of human information processing, realistic environments, and task-specific information. Those on cognitive state sensors include near-infrared technologies, EEG for functional operator state assessment, psycho-physiological sensor technologies, wireless sensors that are wearable and rugged, and transforming sensors into gauges. Other general topics include context modeling, trust, closed loop systems, stress, symbiosis, adaptive users, neuroergonomics, affective computing, and new directions.

This is the eleventh volume in the HCI International 2005 proceedings.
This volume brings together a comprehensive and diverse collection of research, theory, and thought that serves as the basis for the new field of Augmented Cognition research and development. The goal of Augmented Cognition research is to create revolutionary human-computer interactions that capitalize on recent advances in the fields of neuroscience, cognitive science, and computer science.
