title: Cognetics: Robotic Interfaces for the Conscious Mind.
abstract: Cognetics joins the cognitive neuroscience of bodily awareness with robotics to study, control, and enhance perception, cognition, and consciousness. We highlight robot-controlled bodily perception, conscious states, and social interactions and sketch how future cognetic interfaces will impact cognitive neuroscience and human enhancement.
