Claim:
1. A method for determining an occupational task for a subject, comprising: sensing electrical activity along a scalp of a subject with an electrical sensing device; processing the electrical activity to generate a vector of the current mental state of the subject, the vector including a creativity level, a focus level, and a relaxation level; comparing the vector of the current mental state of the subject with vectors in a pre-defined task list to select a task for the subject based on the current mental state of the subject, the pre-defined task list including a plurality of tasks, each of the plurality of tasks in the pre-defined task list having a vector of ideal mental state for the task to be assigned; and assigning the task to the subject from the plurality of tasks based on the comparison of the vector of the current mental state of the subject and the vectors of the pre-defined task list, wherein the task is an activity that is performed by the subject, and the assigning of the task is based on a minimum Euclidean distance between the vector of the current mental state of the subject and the vector of ideal mental state for the task assigned to the subject.
