Bringing smart mirrors to hair salons

Piiq Digital smart mirrors are AI-powered devices designed to complement hair salon services. The mirrors have a hidden camera, built-in beauty lighting, and on-mirror display. They are controlled by a tablet, which helps stylists present the right information to each client.

As the stylist guides a client through a personalized try on, the client gets to explore different hairstyles virtually. They can try out different hair colors, find inspiration in a regularly updated library of hair images, and more. Relevant information simply appears on the mirror in front of them. This way, they can easily discuss various choices with their stylist until they find just what they need.

The neurobiology of cognition

Perhaps the deepest mysteries facing the natural sciences concern the higher functions of the central nervous system. Understanding how the brain gives rise to mental experiences looms as one of the central challenges for science in the new millennium.

📚 Joined-Up Thinking

In the history of humanity, almost everything we've ever achieved has been done by groups working together. Like a hive of bees, or a flock of birds, our social and interconnected brains are designed to function best together.
This is collective intelligence: the way in which many people come together to share their knowledge, data and skills to solve huge problems. These problems are too big for one person to tackle, or even one organisation. But with revolutionary advances in technology and AI, we now have the ability to share our wisdom and knowledge much further than ever before.

In Joined-Up Thinking neuroscientist Dr Hannah Critchlow provides an invaluable guide to our future through the evolving new science of collective intelligence. She reveals what it says about us as human beings, shares compelling examples and stories, and shows how we can work intelligently and collectively in our lives to improve our wellbeing and our prospects.

A defining feature of biology is the use of a multiscale architecture, ranging from molecular networks to cells, tissues, organs, whole bodies, and swarms. Crucially however, biology is not only nested structurally, but also functionally: each level is able to solve problems in distinct problem spaces, such as physiological, morphological, and behavioral state space. Percolating adaptive functionality from one level of competent subunits to a higher functional level of organization requires collective dynamics: multiple components must work together to achieve specific outcomes. Collective intelligence is not only the province of groups of animals, and that an important symmetry exists between the behavioral science of swarms and the competencies of cells and other biological systems at different scales.

AI’s cognitive implications: the decline of our thinking skills?

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of daily life, streamlining everything from search queries to complex decision-making. While AI tools offer convenience and efficiency, they also raise concerns about cognitive offloading—the process of delegating cognitive tasks to external aids. As reliance on AI grows, experts warn that it could diminish critical-thinking skills and alter fundamental cognitive processes. It is not about avoiding its use entirely; the incorporation of AI is essential for the advancement of our societies. (In fact, as will be seen later, it has been shown that a moderate use of AI can have a positive cognitive impact.) However, it is advisable to learn how to use it properly and in a balanced manner.

AI and cognitive offloading

AI tools, from smart assistants to predictive algorithms, have transformed how people process information. The ease of accessing instant solutions has led to cognitive offloading, where individuals shift memory and problem-solving tasks to technology (Nosta, 2025). 
This phenomenon is not new—search engines have already altered how people retain information, a trend known as the "Google Effect" (Gong & Yang, 2024). However, AI’s increasing role in reasoning and analysis takes this a step further, allowing users to bypass the deep thinking that traditional problem-solving requires.

While cognitive offloading can be beneficial, freeing mental space for complex tasks, it also risks eroding critical thinking when overused. AI-generated content and decision-making tools can discourage independent analysis, making users passive consumers rather than active thinkers.

The Google Effect

The Google effect suggests that the digital world is changing the way that we think. We are less likely to digest or deeply encode information, knowing that we can always “Google it.” There has been a great deal of research that suggests increasing dependence on the digital world has negative consequences.

Cognitive offloading

Cognitive offloading in the context of AI refers to the process where individuals delegate cognitive tasks to AI systems instead of relying on their own internal cognitive processes. This can involve tasks like memory retention, problem-solving, decision-making, or information retrieval. While AI can enhance cognitive capacity by freeing up mental space for complex tasks, it also raises concerns about potential negative impacts on critical thinking and cognitive abilities if overused.
