He has published numerous papers in the scholarly literature,[6] chaired multiple DoD conferences,[7] and given a TedX talk on the future of Augmented Cognition.
In addition to his primary graduate work, Schmorrow has also earned degrees in Modeling, Virtual Environments, and Simulation (M.S., Naval Postgraduate School, 1998) and Operations Research (M.S.
[9] Schmorrow joined the U.S. Navy's Medical Service Corps Aerospace Experimental Psychology (AEP) community in 1993 and was directly commissioned as a Lieutenant (O-3).
He was immediately made the company division officer and won academic, military and physical fitness honors by the conclusion of this initial training.
During his time in Pensacola, Schmorrow also completed a cockpit assessment of the T-39 Intermediate Flight Trainer for the local training air wing.
He once explained that during his work he opened a storage unit and found himself in the presence of a substantial amount of equipment from the original Mercury Space Program.
In addition to teaching graduate level courses on topics such as aviation safety, C4ISR, and National Security Affairs he served as the John G. Jenkins Postdoctoral Fellow in applied cognitive research where he explored the use of advanced quantitative assessment techniques including stochastic processes, computational programming, optimization, mathematical modeling, and simulation for military applications.
In his student role, Schmorrow completed two additional master's degrees (see above: Operations Research, 1998; Modeling, Virtual Environments, and Simulation, 1998).
He conducted human systems and information science and technology research focused on advancing virtual environments, modeling and simulation and decision analysis tools and methodologies.
His efforts included the development and implementation of initiatives that resulted in the rapid transition of information technologies to operational users.
In this role Schmorrow also published dozens of papers in refereed journals and was awarded the Defense Superior Service Medal.
The creation of such interactions stemmed from the ability of technology to measure human information processing and a user's cognitive state.
Various research projects were designed to evaluate in real time the cognitive state of a user by using either EEG or fNIR systems.
Another main concept of AugCog was to design closed-loop systems to modulate information flow with respect to the user's cognitive capacity.
SoarTech builds intelligent systems for defense, government, and commercial applications that emulated human decision making in order to enhance user abilities.
