The most important challenging application of brain
computer interaction is to enables direct interaction between
human and computer by directly receiving and transmitting
signals to and from the brain of human subject. In the
Computer system the Recognition of Facial expression of
human subject is a great challenging task[1][2][3].
During expression recognition of human face there are so
many complex issue arises like: neuromedical ,anatomical
and psychological[4]. This is dependent on the social behavior
of human.. Basically, one human being may have different
expression under different -2 conditions. The human subject
may have seven type of universal facial expressions like:
happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise, disgust, and neutral Fig1. Brain computer Interaction
