AI models predict human reactions in Counter-Strike 2 using game telemetry

Researchers have developed novel AI models, EMBER and ORBIT, capable of predicting human reactions in real-time using high-frequency game telemetry from Counter-Strike 2. These models, trained on data available milliseconds before an event, achieved significantly higher accuracy than baseline models and even a strong LLM baseline in predicting fight-or-flight responses. The study explores the transition from rapid to deliberative control and suggests potential applications in understanding human behavior through digital interactions. AI

IMPACT Introduces new methods for real-time human behavior modeling from digital interaction data, potentially impacting fields requiring rapid response analysis.

    Toward Fast Human Reaction Modeling from High-Frequency Digital Interaction Data

    arXiv:2610.35079v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate whether limbic-like signatures of rapid, salience-driven behavior can be identified in high-resolution Counter-Strike 2 telemetry. This exploratory study introduces Ego-Knowledge, a leak-reduced reconstruction of each…
