     The people who have lost movement or language function due to traffic accidents or neuromuscular disease, necessitating large numbers of care assistants to support severely disable patients who have almost no voluntary control of body movements. Brain-Computer interface (BCI) is a direct communication pathway between a human brain and an external device. Such systems permit people to communicate through direct measurements of brain activity, without requiring any movement. The task of the BCI is to identify and predict behaviorally induced changes or cognitive states in a user‘s brain signals. Brain signals are recorded from electrodes placed on the scalp. In this report the Soft Computing technique like ANFIS was applied on the EEG signals which are taken during six limb movement tasks and also during six imaginary tasks, and the data are taken for classification. From the test results it is observed that the probability of correct classification has been increased for the limb movements by using ANFIS and for feature extraction we use wavelet transform.
