Systems and methods for generic control using a neural signal

A method for preparing an individual to interface with a first device and a second device, the method comprising:

• measuring a brain-related signal of the individual to obtain a sensed brain-related signal when the individual generates a task-specific thought by thinking of a first task;
• transmitting the sensed brain-related signal to a processing unit;
• associating, via the processing unit, the sensed brain-related signal with a first device input command associated with a first device task, where the first device task is different from the first task;
• associating, via the processing unit, the sensed brain-related signal with a second device input command associated with a second device task, where the second device task is different from the first device task and the first task;
• and
• upon associating the sensed brain-related signal with the first device input command and the second device input command, electrically transmitting the first device input command to the first device to execute the first device task associated with the first device input command or electrically transmitting the second device input command to the second device to execute the second device task associated with the second device input command.
