1. A system, comprising:
- a camera;
a plurality of sensors, each of said sensors configured to detect a different physiological response of a user; and
a controller configured to trigger said camera to capture an image in response to detections of different simultaneous physiological responses by said sensors, wherein at least one of said physiological responses is involuntary.

Abstract
A system of the present invention automatically controls electronic devices based on physiological conditions of a user. In this regard, the system includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor is positioned adjacent to an eye of a user and is configured to detect a physiological response of the user. The sensor is configured to transmit, in response to a detection of the physiological response, a signal indicative of the response. The controller is configured to receive the signal and to control an electronic device based on the signal.
