Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed that, in some aspects, provide for receiving input from sensors placed in a user's mouth. The methods and systems may include a plurality of sensors in communication with a controller. Each sensor may be affixed to one of a plurality of teeth. The controller may generate an action signal when a sensor signal exceeds a sensor signal threshold value. Aspects of the disclosure also provide for methods that may include detecting a sensor signal exceeding a sensor signal threshold value, generating an action signal, and transmitting the action signal, the action signal comprising information identifying the sensor associated with the detected sensor signal.
