A method for determining the focusing of the visual attention of an individual from electroencephalographic signals. At least one visual stimulus to be displayed is generated (411) from at least one graphic object, a visual stimulus being an animated graphic object obtained by applying, to a graphic object, a time sequence of elementary transformations temporally parameterised by a corresponding modulation signal. A modulation signal is reconstructed (414) from a plurality of electroencephalographic signals produced by the individual focusing his visual attention on one of the visual stimuli. A visual stimulus corresponding to the modulation signal is identified (415), for which the degree of statistical dependence with the reconstructed modulation signal is greater than a first threshold.
