1. A system comprising:

  • circuitry for receiving a physiological activity signal at a personal computing device, the physiological activity signal indicative of a physiological status of a subject;

    circuitry for determining a neural stimulus control signal based at least in part on the physiological activity signal;

    circuitry for outputting the neural stimulus control signal from the personal computing device to a neural stimulation device including an external neural stimulator configured to be carried on a pinna of the subject, wherein the neural stimulus control signal is configured to control delivery of a neural stimulus by the external neural stimulator, the neural stimulus configured to activate at least one sensory nerve fiber innervating at least a portion of the pinna; and

    circuitry for at least one ofautomatically discontinuing outputting of the neural stimulus control signal in response to receiving an audio input signal from a telecommunication network and starting outputting an audio output signal via an audio output of the personal computing device, wherein the audio output signal is configured for driving delivery of sound to the ear of the subject via a sound source;

    orautomatically declining an audio input signal from the telecommunication network if the neural stimulus is currently being delivered.
