We live in the era where technologies are intimately woven into
virtually all aspects of daily life and are becoming almost
invisible. While these technologies have considerable benefits,
they also have a number of shortcomings and unforeseen
consequences. For example, on the one hand, bodily sensors that
track physical activity, physiological parameters and sleep
patterns can help promote healthy habits and can enable early
detection of problems. On the other hand, attention spans are
becoming shorter and shorter due to constant interruptions by
notifications, emails, and instant messages being delivered to
cell phones or watches, and similar disturbances. Moreover, the
privacy issues involved in storing and manipulation of these data
must not be neglected.

The technological convergence of sciences that were considered
separate in the past, like information and communication
technologies, cognitive sciences, nanotechnologies and
biotechnologies, determines not only our society, health and
economy, but also our education and culture.

The conference gathered academics, professionals and
practitioners involved in developing solutions and systems in the
industrial and business arena, especially innovative commercial
implementations, to discuss novel applications of these
next-generation, emerging technologies in the context of human
cognitive functions.
