Funding: EU FP7, FET Open, grant 612933 · Nov 2013 – Oct 2016
RECALL aims to re-think and re-define the notion of memory augmentation. The project will harness recent developments in capture technology and information retrieval and develop a new paradigm for memory augmentation technologies that are technically feasible, desired by users, and beneficial to society.
The initiative combines technological interventions with basic research questions in memory psychology to advance memory augmentation from niche clinical use to mainstream adoption, developing novel capture systems and feedback mechanisms through displays and mobile devices.
Objectives
- Automate the acquisition of personal memories
- Investigate how technological feedback can enhance memory retention and attenuation
