You must set one of these 2 parameters: **profile** or **session**. [Read this](/cortex-api/advanced-bci.md#profile-name-or-session-id) for details.

The array **values** contains the sensitivity of each active actions. The order of the values must follow the order of the active actions, as returned by [mentalCommandActiveAction](/cortex-api/advanced-bci/mentalcommandactiveaction.md).

## Result

If the status is "set", then the result is a success message.
