Abstract

A method is provided, performed by a wearable computing device comprising at least one bio-signal measuring sensor, the at least one bio-signal measuring sensor including at least one brainwave sensor, comprising: acquiring at least one bio-signal measurement from a user using the at least one bio-signal measuring sensor, the at least one bio-signal measurement comprising at least one brainwave state measurement; processing the at least one bio-signal measurement, including at least the at least one brainwave state measurement, in accordance with a profile associated with the user; determining a correspondence between the processed at least one bio-signal measurement and at least one predefined device control action; and in accordance with the correspondence determination, controlling operation of at least one component of the wearable computing device, such as modifying content displayed on a display of the wearable computing device. Various types of bio-signals, including brainwaves, may be measured and used to control the device in various ways.
