Abstract / Description of output

Signal processing of sEMG is currently the most prevalent method used to control active hand prostheses. For control purposess EMG is typically transformed into a feature space representation prior to presentation to a controller or classifier. In this study we compare three signal processing techniques for myoelectric control based on low level EMG contractions: mean-absolute-value (MAV), a Bayesian estimate of the EMGs ‘neural drive’, and sequentially updated real-time Kurtosis.
