Abstract

A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: acquiring subjective user state data including data indicating at least one subjective user state associated with a user; acquiring objective occurrence data including data indicating at least one objective occurrence associated with the user; correlating the subjective user state data with the objective occurrence data based, at least in part, on a determination of at least one sequential pattern associated with the at least one subjective user state and the at least one objective occurrence; and presenting one or more results of the correlating. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.
