"Tiny lenses on the surface can be tilted independently to create mesmerizing patterns which flood the victim's brain with enticing messages, interpreted in whatever form is most convincing by the target." This Data Bank Entry quote suggests it hypnotizes the player.

"The mesmer can open the jawlike recess in its protective outer shell in order to [ERROR463] share its beauty... Do not resist... Assessment: Draw closer" This Data Bank Entry quote suggests it hypnotizes the PDA.

That being said, though, it is unlikely that the hypnotized PDA is doing anything while a Mesmer is acting. Like you said, there is no dialogue box, which shows up for most (if not all) speeches from the PDA. Plus, this would make it the only time that a PDA talks directly in response to a creature.
