We demonstrate the elicitation and subsequent detection and decoding of such "automatic interpretations" by means of context-sensitive probes in an ongoing human-computer interaction. Through a sequence of such probe-interpretation cycles, the computer accumulates responses over time to model the operator's cognition, even without that person being aware of it. This brings human cognition directly into the human-computer interaction loop, expanding traditional notions of "interaction." The concept introduces neuroadaptive technology—technology which automatically adapts to an estimate of its operator's mindset. This technology bears relevance to autoadaptive experimental designs, and opens up paradigm-shifting possibilities for human-machine systems in general.}, language = {en} }
