1. Eyewear, comprising:
a frame;
an optical member supported by the frame;
a temple coupled to the frame;
a sensor coupled to the temple and configured to sense facial muscle movement and generate electrical signals indicative of the facial muscle movement, wherein the sensor comprises two electrodes located in the temple proximate the frame, wherein the two electrodes are configured to make contact with a single temple of a user when the eyewear is worn by the user; and
a processor configured to process the electrical signals and determine a facial expression, wherein the processor is configured to perform a function comprising adjusting the optical member in response to the determined facial expression, wherein the processor is further configured to take an electrocardiogram of a user via the two electrodes used to determine the facial expression.
