  In what capacity are affective augmentations helpful to humans, and what
risks (if any) do they pose? In this position paper, we outline three works on
affective augmentation systems, where our studies suggest these systems have
the ability to influence our cognitive, affective, and (social) bodily
perceptions in perhaps unusual ways. We provide considerations on whether these
systems, outside clinical settings, are assistive, harmful, or as of now
largely unfamiliar to users.
