Springer - Cognitive Enhancement: An Interdisciplinary Perspective

Explore the complex world of cognitive enhancement in this academic volume from Springer. This book examines how healthy individuals use drugs, biotechnological strategies, and other methods to improve cognitive functions like memory, concentration, and vigilance without a medical necessity. While pharmacological substances such as caffeine, prescription drugs, and illicit drugs have gained significant attention, much remains unknown about their actual effects on healthy populations. This text addresses those gaps by investigating the role and function of cognitive enhancers in everyday life. It provides a necessary look at how these tools are used to augment human performance in modern society. As part of the Trends in Augmentation of Human Performance series, this work offers an interdisciplinary look at the growing phenomenon of cognitive improvement. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of biotechnology, pharmacology, and human performance.
