A processor based input system is provided for automatically determining the cognitive assessment of a human as an input source to a processor based automated system configured for use in a human-machine team. In some embodiments, the processor based input system comprises an input device, a cognitive assessment input system (CAIS) and a processor based automated system. In some embodiments the CAIS comprises 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 from the interaction data, an intervention building module configured to determine automation directives for a processor based automated system from the cognitive measure and the automated system is configured to receive and execute automation directives from the CAIS as an input source to the processor based automated system.
