  2. More questions/ideas • Extended mind through coupling with artifacts and environment. • Learning and understanding ourselves: what can we know through the internal flow of information and what can we learn by external observations of our activity and observation of results of our actions? • How can we use computing artifacts to regulate our behavior? • How can we monitor ourselves, be aware of more information about our own behavior, adding additional feedback loops? • How to encourage positive behavior that maximizes long-term chances of happy and meaningful life? • How have different societies regulated behavior of their members in the past, what practices have they developed to increase social well-being? • How to replace positive practices that has lost their appeal to modern man with technology-based interactions?

  3. More questions/ideas • Environments that encourage curiosity and exploration of the world in infants and children – the problem of 200 mln neglected children. • Techniques that present objective view of people’s behavior, remind them of their goals – augmented conscience? • Alter ego: train your own avatar, remember important things. • Assistive technologies to change one’s own character. • Assistive technologies that play the role of “guarding angels” and advise people in making important decisions. • US army has already a lot of sensors that monitor physiological state of a soldier and could be used for self-monitoring. • Induce brain plasticity in a controlled way … • Assistive technologies for spiritual development?
