A computing device, such as a wearable device, may include at least two electrodes mounted on a body. The computing device may determine an electrical signal associated with a circuit that includes the at least two electrodes and the user. A pressure applied to at least one electrode of the at least two electrodes may be determined from the electrical signal, and at least one function of the computing device may be implemented, based on the pressure.
