Man-Machine Interface System for Neuromuscular Training and Evaluation Based on EMG and MMG Signals

Man-Machine Interface System for Neuromuscular Training and Evaluation Based on EMG and MMG Signals

This paper presents the UVa-NTS (University of Valladolid Neuromuscular Training System), a multifunction and portable Neuromuscular Training System. The UVa-NTS is designed to analyze the voluntary control of severe neuromotor handicapped patients, their interactive response, and their adaptation to neuromuscular interface systems, such as neural prostheses or domotic applications. Thus, it is...

EMG-Based Human-Machine Interface System

Tongue interface based on surface EMG signals of suprahyoid muscles

The research described herein was undertaken to develop and test a novel tongue interface based on classification of tongue motions from the surface electromyography (EMG) signals of the suprahyoid muscles detected at the underside of the jaw. The EMG signals are measured via 22 active surface electrodes mounted onto a special flexible boomerang-shaped base. Because of the sensor’s shape and fl...

Development of a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) Speller System Based on SSVEP Signals

BCI is one of the most intriguing technologies among other HCI systems, mostly because of its capability of recording brain activities. Spelling BCIs, which help paralyzed people to maintain communication, are one of the striking topics in the field of BCI. In this scientific a spelling BCI system with high transfer rate and accuracy that uses SSVEP signals is proposed.In addition, we suggested...

Muscular Interactions. Combining EMG and MMG sensing for musical practice

We present the first combined use of the electromyogram (EMG) and mechanomyogram (MMG), two biosignals that result from muscular activity, for interactive music applications. We exploit differences between these two signals, as reported in the biomedical literature, to create bi-modal sonification and sound synthesis mappings that allow performers to distinguish the two components in a single c...
