Electroencephalography which detects the electrical activity in our brain using electrodes. Brain cells communicate through electrical impulses and active all the time, even when we are sleeping. It has been largely used in both clinical and research applications. Brain computer interface system that acquires brain signals which analyses and translates them into computer commands that are relayed to an output device to perform desired action. This application can provide a new way of communications for special uses like paralysis, epilepsy affected patients who cannot walk around. Paralysis is the loss of ability to move some or all of our body. It can have lots of causes where it may be temporary or permanent. This project mainly focuses on helping paralyzed and injured people. A fully automated wheelchair is developed that can assist the disabled people in their life to do some work independent of others. Here we analyze the brain wave signals to observe the path to estimate the movement of wheelchair. A specific signal has been observed sensing the forward, backward and sideways directions in the brain which is picked up by the BCI which controls the movement of the wheelchair. The control of wheelchair is done under real conditions using direction and speed control commands of the wheelchair
