As they become more integrated, one challenge is how to create intuitive, non-disruptive wearable systems that integrate naturally with the user's cognitive and perceptual faculties to improve their cognitive capabilities. In my work, I approach this by utilizing findings from cognitive neuroscience and computational social science to inform my design of wearable systems combined with state-of-the art artificial intelligence methods like LLMs, and neural interfacing methods like tACS stimulation.
