Abstract
Systems and methods are provided herein for selectively triggering biometric measurement from an appropriate biometric instrument of a plurality of biometric instruments to determine biometric responses that are relevant to presently consumed media content. These systems and methods may be used to ensure efficient use of biometric instruments. This efficient use may ensure that energy use is efficiently managed, that noise from irrelevant biometric measurements is avoided, and the like.
