THE FUTURE OF DESIGN? USING AI TO ENHANCE HUMAN COGNITION AND CREATIVITY

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Metacognition is the process of thinking about one's thought processes. This is a crucial skill for designers as it enables them to evaluate their designs critically, identify knowledge gaps, and adapt their creative approaches. Cornell University's "Multi-Self" tool provides real-time biofeedback on designers' emotional states based on their neural data. Externalizing this typically internal information should lead to valuable self-reflection and expanded creative exploration.
