An SSVEP-Based BCI System for SMS in a Mobile Phone

In this paper, the purpose is to develop a Short Message Service (SMS) system that can aid the ALS patients to control a mobile phone to send a message by using of the steady state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP) brain computer interface (BCI) to a person who can help him/her. The EEG signals may be detected by electrodes and signal extracting chip. Then these signal can be transmitted to the mobile platforms by using of Bluetooth interface. Finally, the message and phone number can be selected in accordance with the components in frequency domain transferred from time domain. The experimental results had shown that the proposed system can easily send a message from a mobile phone to another.
