Abstract
Augmented Cognition manifesting in the DARPA project is becoming of more and more interest to non-military application areas. First areas it is going to be applied are in flight control and power plant control. Measuring cognitive workload in the context of Augmented Cognition is bound to the application of sensor technologies and frameworks which are going to be applied to users. It is necessary to make Augmented Cognition Application in non-military areas as comfortable to the user as possible as we do not want to disturb her but to support her in her tasks. In this paper we will define criteria to be considered when designing Augmented Cognition applications in non-military environments.
