Claim:
1. A system configured to estimate a response of a user to a token instance of interest, comprising: a token instance remover configured to receive a temporal window of token instances representing certain stimuli and an attention level of the user in at least one of the token instances belonging to the window; the token instance remover is further configured to utilize the attention level to select a token instance of interest from among the token instances belonging to the window, and to remove the token instance of interest from the temporal window of token instances; a machine learning-based predictor of affective response configured to receive feature values representing the temporal window of token instances from which the token instance of interest was removed, and to calculate, based on the feature values, a value of a predicted affective response to the temporal window of token instances without the token instance of interest; and a decomposer configured to receive a value of a measured affective response of the user due to exposure to the certain stimuli, and to estimate an affective response of the user to the token instance of interest based on a difference between the value of the measured affective response and the value of the predicted affective response.
