Objective A portable EEG real-time acquisition and analysis system based on MSP430 was designed. Methods According to EEG characteristics, front-end amplifier circuit and filter circuit were designed. MSP430 was chosen as the core in this system. After acquisition, the signal data were transferred to PC by USB through PL2303. The data were received by PC and processed by software in real-time. In text experiment, the ideal signal produced by a signal generator was conversed by an AD converter. Under the control of MSP430, the signal was transmitted to the PC through the USB port and was processed in real-time. Results An acceptable signal was obtained at PC by using this system. In the following text, the EEG signals of a normal subject under two states: lunch break (light sleep) and wakefulness relax (listening to music), were obtained and analyzed in frequency domain in real-time. And the results were good. Conclusions The system is easy to carry and use, with wide application prospects, especially in college laboratories.
