Human-machine systems with interaction based cognitive assessment input systems

A processor based automated system, the processor based automated system comprising:

• an input device;
• a cognitive assessment input system (CAIS) in communication with the input device and comprising:
• an interaction data acquisition module configured to receive input data from the input device as interaction data,
• a cognitive indicators and work patterns analysis module configured to determine a cognitive measure of a cognitive state of a human from the interaction data, and
• an intervention building module configured to determine automation directives for the processor based automated system from the cognitive measure;
• the processor based automated system specifically configured for use in a human-machine team;
• the processor based automated system configured determine an automation directive from the CAIS based on the cognitive measure;
• the automated system configured to receive and execute automation directives from the CAIS as an input source to the processor based automated system;
• and
• wherein the input device comprises a mouse and the interaction data comprises one of the interaction data selected from the group consisting of:
• a click rate,
• a switch rate, and
• a dwell time.
