Observer Perception-Reflection Dynamics: A Shared Paradigm in Human-Machine Teaming for Adaptive Preparedness
|
ABSTRACT We discuss the conceptual dynamics of an observer’s projection and reflection that underlie the observer’s perception of an event or object. The central question is: how do observers share internal states (such as beliefs, intentions, etc.) with one another? Understanding these dynamics can help create and maintain a shared context in information exchange, to support adaptive preparedness and situational awareness in human-machine teams. We open with a brief theoretical background on cognition models, then present a conceptual analysis of observer observation dynamics, and finally explore the potential applications of the model.

Nancy is a PhD candidate at UH Manoa's ICS department. Her research intersects security and Human-Computer Interaction. Her dissertation work is focused on the psycho-physiological artifacts of Human-Computer Interaction, and their potential applications towards solving cyber-security problems.
Brief Abstract of the dissertation work:
Cognition drives human functioning, which in turn enables Human-Computer Interaction. The body artifacts of human functioning are psycho-physiological signals. These signals exhibit change patterns and properties that could potentially mark interactions with digital events and incidents. If such markers can be harnessed, they can be used as input in cybersecurity applications e.g. as evidence in forensic investigations. This dissertation research proposes psycho-physiological artifacts of HCI, as a source of markers evidencing digital events for the benefit of cybersecurity.
