Apparatus, methods, and systems for using imagined direction to define actions, functions, or execution

A system comprising:

• a computer system;
• and
• a device for use by a user, the device comprising:
• a first sensor for detecting a physiological characteristic of the user;
• a second sensor for detecting head tilt data of the user;
• and
• a communications module coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor, the communications module configured to:
• in response to detecting the physiological characteristic via the first sensor:
• transmit the detected head tilt data to the computer system communicatively coupled to the device,
• receive one or more action signals from the computer system, and
• initiate at least one action based on the received one or more action signals from the computer system,
• wherein the device is shaped such that the first sensor is configured to record from a temple, an ear, or a mastoid region of the user;
• wherein the computer system is configured to:
• translate the detected head tilt data into a movement pattern exhibited by the user, and
• control an operation of a software application executed by the computer system according to the movement pattern.
