Methods and systems for specifying an avatar

A system comprising:

• Circuitry for presenting at least one characteristic to at least one member of a population cohort;
• Circuitry for measuring at least one physiologic activity of the at least one member of the population cohort, the at least one physiologic activity proximate to the at least one presented characteristic;
• Circuitry for associating the at least one physiological activity with at least one mental state;
• and
• Circuitry for specifying at least one avatar attribute based on the at least one mental state.

A computer program product comprising:

• A signal-bearing medium bearing
• (a) one or more instructions for presenting at least one characteristic to at least one member of a population cohort;
• (b) one or more instructions for measuring at least one physiologic activity of the at least one member of the population cohort, the at least one physiologic activity proximate to the at least one presented characteristic;
• (c) one or more instructions for associating the at least one physiological activity with at least one mental state;
• and
• (d) one or more instructions for specifying at least one avatar attribute based on the at least one mental state.

A system comprising:

• A computing device;
• and
• Instructions that when executed on the computing device cause the computing device to
• (a) present at least one characteristic to at least one member of a population cohort;
• (b) measure physiologic activity of the at least one member of the population cohort, the physiologic activity proximate to the at least one characteristic;
• (c) associate the at least one physiological activity with at least one mental state;
• and
• (d) specify at least one avatar attribute based on the at least one mental state.
