将移动的传感技术应用于认知任务将使新形式的活动识别成为可能。身体活动识别技术已经成为主流许多专用的移动的设备和智能手机应用程序计算我们爬的步数或我们跑的英里数。如果设备和应用程序也可以计算我们阅读的单词以及我们在学习中取得的进展呢？这篇文章的作者证明了移动的眼动跟踪可以用来做到这一点。专注于阅读习惯，他们已经开发出了认知活动识别系统的原型，该系统可以监控用户阅读的内容和数量以及他们的理解程度。这样的系统可以彻底改变课堂内外的教学、学习和评估。此外，随着传感技术的改进，活动识别可以扩展到其他认知任务，包括集中注意力，保留信息以及听觉或视觉处理。虽然这项研究非常令人兴奋，但它也提出了许多伦理问题--例如，谁应该知道我们读了什么或我们理解了多少？
Applying mobile sensing technology to cognitive tasks will enable novel forms of activity recognition. Physical activity recognition technology has become mainstream-many dedicated mobile devices and smartphone apps count the steps we climb or the miles we run. What if devices and apps were also available that could count the words we read and how far we've progressed in our learning? The authors of this article demonstrate that mobile eye tracking can be used to do just that. Focusing on reading habits, they've prototyped cognitive activity recognition systems that monitor what and how much users read as well as how much they understand. Such systems could revolutionize teaching, learning, and assessment both inside and outside the classroom. Further, as sensing technology improves, activity recognition could be extended to other cognitive tasks including concentrating, retaining information, and auditory or visual processing. While this research is extremely exciting, it also raises numerous ethical questions-for example, who should know what we read or how much we understand?
