Abstract
In this work, a motor imagery based 2-D cursor control strategy was applied to spell English character in a three-layer interface. Pinyin input method was integrated with English speller to input Chinese characters. A chatting system based on the BCI speller and instant messenger was designed and tested. The online experimental results demonstrated that three subjects all achieved good performance.
