ABSTRACT
The emerging field of cognitive activity recognition -- real life tracking of mental states -- can give us new possibilities to enhance our minds.
In this paper, we outline the use of wearable computing to engage the user's mind. We argue that the more personal technology becomes the more it should also adopt to the user's long term goals improving mental fitness. We present a the concept of computing to engage our minds, discuss some enabling technologies as well as challenges and opportunities.

We confront the following popular views: that mind or life are algorithms; that thinking, or more generally any process other than computation, is computation; that anything other than a working brain can have thoughts; that anything other than a ...
Could artificial intelligence have consciousness? Some perspectives from neurology and parapsychology
AbstractThe possibility of AI consciousness depends much on the correct answer to the mind–body problem: how our materialistic brain generates subjective consciousness? If a materialistic answer is valid, machine consciousness must be possible, at least ...
