9. An electronic device, comprising:
communication circuitry configured to communicate with one or more external electronic devices via a plurality of communication channels;
memory circuitry configured to store instructions, reference brain patterns of a user, and digital objects of the user, wherein each of the reference brain patterns of the user is linked to a respective digital object of the digital objects of the user; and
processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the communication circuitry and the memory circuitry and configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory circuitry to cause the processing circuitry to:
receive, via a first communication channel of the plurality of communication channels, physiological signals of the user measured by an external electronic device of the one or more external electronic devices, wherein the physiological signals correspond to a brain pattern of the user;
identify, from the digital objects, a digital object linked to the brain pattern based on correspondence between the brain pattern and one of the reference brain patterns and based on the digital object being linked to the one of the reference brain patterns;
access the digital object to retrieve information contained in the digital object; and
provide, via a second communication channel of the plurality of communication channels, the digital object to a recipient on behalf of the user.
