Abstract
Some implementations disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and devices that use physiological data (e.g., indicative of surprise) of a user to determine that an unexpected user interface behavior occurred. In some implementations, a device having a processor implements a method. The method obtains, via a sensor, physiological data of a user during a period of time and uses the physiological data to determine a characteristic of the user during the period of time while the user is using the electronic device. The method identifies an unexpected user interface behavior occurring prior to the period of time based on the characteristic of the user during the period of time.
