Optimal Selection Of Muscle Contraction States Using Probabilistic Neural Myoprocessor

TLDR
Results of simulating the network show the fact that reliable contraction states can be obtained for representing movement classes for both cases of two and three degree of freedom arm.
Abstract
In order to design an EMG-controlled cybernetic arm with high degree of freedom, the optimal subset of the possible muscle contraction states is to be determined for the purpose of controlling the arm. In this paper, optimal muscle contraction states have been selected using the classification error in probabilistic neural network (PNN). Results of simulating the network show the fact that reliable contraction states can be obtained for representing movement classes for both cases of two and three degree of freedom arm.

Improveci EMG pattern rocognition using polar segmentation of the feature space

TL;DR: Different segmentation schemes of the EMG feature space are considered in order to implement a myoelectric prosthetic control with a minimum classification error and it is shown that the use of polar coordinates instead of cartesian ones may lead to a lower misclassification rate.
