The Human Cognitive Enhancement wiki, or HCE wiki in short, serves as an encyclopaedia of technologies that enhance or otherwise modify human cognition. It is not a mere database, though. We aim to provide not only a comprehensive list of available technologies but also a commentary on related topics such as health issues, controversies, socioeconomic implications and more. We also take care to approach each subject with care, research it properly and, if they are available, reference relevant sources, past research, and literature. The overall structure of this knowledge base, can be viewed [[Knowledge Base Structure|here]]. The Human Cognitive Enhancement Wiki is a part of the [http://www.moa.zcu.cz/en/articles/naturalness-in-human-cognitive-enhancement-hcena-1 HCENAT project].

The wiki is currently undergoing development. You can expect frequent changes, and bugs. The official release of the knowledge base is planned for the end of the year 2015.

Welcome to HCE Wiki

The Human Cognitive Enhancement wiki, or HCE wiki in short, serves as an encyclopaedia of technologies that enhance or otherwise modify human cognition. It is not a mere database, though. We aim to provide not only a comprehensive list of available technologies but also a commentary on related topics such as health issues, controversies, socioeconomic implications and more. We also take care to approach each subject with care, research it properly and, if they are available, reference relevant sources, past research, and literature. The overall structure of this knowledge base, can be viewed here. The Human Cognitive Enhancement Wiki is a part of the HCENAT project.
