Abstract
A method of creating a user profile (24) for use in a brain computer interface (40) comprises performing a training exercise, measuring a user'"'"'s brain signals (20) during the training exercise, mapping specific signals of the user'"'"'s brain signals to predefined mental task descriptions, and creating a user profile (24) comprising the user'"'"'s brain signals mapped to the mental task descriptions. The user profile so created can be used in a method of creating a brain computer interface for a user (18) for an application (34). This method comprises accessing a user profile comprising the user'"'"'s brain signals mapped to mental task descriptions, accessing an application profile (38) comprising a plurality of properties of the application, matching one or more mental task descriptions from the user profile to a respective property from the application profile, and creating a brain computer interface accordingly.
