Objective： To design a real-time brain-computer interface system for controlling short message sending.Methods： The system is made up of visual stimulator,EEG acquisition circuit,FPGA development board and communication module.The brain-computer interface consists of an object choosing interface and a content choosing interface.The subject can choose one option by staring at one module in the interface for several seconds.The system can determine which option the subject has chosen by analyzing the VEP signal of the subject.The VGA monitor based on FPGA was used to produce visual stimulation.Collected EEG signal is processed on FPGA development board in real-time.Wavelet filtering was used to extract the feature vectors of VEP（visual evoked potential） signal,which was input to the BP neural network to recognize VEP and produce brain-computer interface control signal.Wavelet transformation and BP neural network were realized by NIOS II.The BCI control signal was used to control TC35 wireless module to send short message.Results： The recognition can reach highly to 100% when five testers are tested separately short message can be sent out using the designed BCI system.The algorithm of wavelet filtering and BP neural network is better than the waveform matching method in time domain for VEP recognition.Conclusions： The experiments show the proposed method of sending short message based on BCI is workable.
