The Human Touch

I was just accessing a website I need to use related to work I do for examinations when I got the message: Verifying You Are Human. There was a short pause, just a few seconds, and then I got in to do the needful. But what I want to know is this: How exactly was I being verified? And, How do they know they got it right?

I feel like something out of Blade Runner, and I'm not sure whether that's a good or bad thing. But it is a Thing.

(Must say, I'm very happy indeed I didn't need to do one of those weird 'catcha' things I always manage to fail at.)
