The invention discloses a wheelchair brainwave control device. The device comprises a stimulus source, a brainwave signal obtaining device, a computer, a data processor and a wheelchair control circuit. The invention further discloses a wheelchair brainwave control method. The method comprises the following steps of 1, obtaining and uploading of brainwave signals, 2, calculation of brainwave frequency values; 3, judgment of control information; 4, output of the control information; 5, execution of the control information; 6, analysis and processing of next brainwave frequency values. A color flickering vision stimulator is adopted, the distinguishing rate induced by brainwave signals is increased, each color flicking block alternately flickers with two flickering frequencies, the monotony of the stimulus source is avoided, a golden section method is adopted to divide a sampling period, the effectiveness of brainwave inducing is guaranteed, a DB4 wavelet function of which the Vanishing matrix order is 4 is adopted to conduct wavelet packet decomposition on the brainwave signals, the interference information is inhibited, the accuracy of brainwave control is improved, and convenience is brought to specific disabled people.
