1. A wearable, comprising: (8) (5)

a first side;

a second side;

at least one electrode; and

at least one thermocouple,

wherein the first side is a side in contact with a subject and the second side is a side that is opposite of the first side, wherein the at least one electrode and the at least one thermocouple are arranged on the first side.

2. The wearable of claim 1, wherein the thermocouple is configured for application of the Peltier effect, thereby cooling or heating the first side of the wearable. (0)

3. The wearable of claim 1, further comprising: (1) (1)

5. The wearable of claim 1, wherein the wearable includes at least one of a band, a wrap, or an adhesive crest. (1) (0)

7. The wearable of claim 1, wherein the wearable includes one or more of an article of clothing, an article of bedding, or a consumer product. (0)

8. The wearable of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (3)

9. The wearable of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (1)

10. The wearable of claim 1, wherein the at least one electrode is configured to measure temperature or perspiration/humidity. (0)

11. The wearable of claim 1, wherein the at least one electrode is configured to measure EEG brain patterns. (0)

12. A method of dynamically adjusting a temperature of a wearable, comprising: (5) (3)

monitoring a temperature level of a subject via at least one electrode of the wearable; and

based on the monitored temperature level of the subject, applying a voltage across a thermocouple of the wearable resulting in a cooling effect or a heating effect of a first side of the wearable via the Peltier effect;

wherein the first side of the wearable is a side in contact with the subject.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising: (0) (2)

14. The method of claim 12, further comprising: (0) (1)

15. The method of claim 12, further comprising: (0) (1)

16. The method of claim 12, further comprising: (0) (1)

17. The method of claim 12, further comprising: (0) (2)

18. A method of dynamically adjusting a temperature, comprising: (2) (3)

positioning at least one of a wearable or a consumer product relative to a subject;

based on a monitored or perceived condition of the subject, applying a voltage across at least one thermocouple of the at least one of the wearable or consumer product resulting in a heating effect or a cooling effect of a first side of the at least one of the wearable or the consumer product via the Peltier effect,

wherein the first side is a side in contact with the subject.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising: (0) (1)

20. The method of claim 18, wherein the at least one of the wearable or the consumer product includes an article of clothing, footwear, an article of bedding, a head covering, earphones, a container, a temperature sleeve of a container, a safety device, a seat, or a steering wheel. (0)
