Relating to brain computer interfaces

摘要

A method of creating a user profile for use in a brain computer interface includes performing a training exercise, measuring a user's brain signals during the training exercise, mapping specific signals of the user's brain signals to predefined mental task descriptions, and creating a user profile including 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 for an application. This method includes accessing a user profile including the user's brain signals mapped to mental task descriptions, accessing an application profile including 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.

1. A method of creating a user profile for a brain computer interface, the method comprising the acts of:
performing a training exercise; measuring a user's brain signals during the training exercise; mapping by a processor specific signals of the user's brain signals to predefined mental task descriptions; creating by the processor the user profile comprising the user's brain signals mapped to the predefined mental task descriptions; measuring a user's fatigue during the training exercise; and recording information relating to the measured fatigue in the user profile, wherein the user's fatigue is based on a number of times that the user can perform a specific mental task within a predefined accuracy resulting in a measured specific brain signal.
