==Cognition== {{Main|Neuroprosthetics}} Unlike neuromotor prostheses, neurocognitive prostheses would sense or modulate neural function in order to physically reconstitute or augment cognitive processes such as [[executive function]], [[attention]], language, and memory. No neurocognitive prostheses are currently available but the development of implantable neurocognitive brain-computer interfaces has been proposed to help treat conditions such as [[stroke]], [[traumatic brain injury]], [[cerebral palsy]], [[autism]], and [[Alzheimer's disease]].<ref name="Serruya MD, Kahana MJ 2008 149">{{Cite journal|journal= Behav Brain Res |year=2008 |title= Techniques and devices to restore cognition |vauthors=Serruya MD, Kahana MJ |doi=10.1016/j.bbr.2008.04.007 |pmid=18539345 |volume= 192 |issue= 2|pages= 149β65|pmc= 3051349}}</ref> The recent field of Assistive Technology for Cognition concerns the development of technologies to augment human cognition. Scheduling devices such as Neuropage remind users with memory impairments when to perform certain activities, such as visiting the doctor. Micro-prompting devices such as PEAT, AbleLink and Guide have been used to aid users with memory and executive function problems perform [[activities of daily living]].
