This paper presents a new version of an EMG-based, hands-free, cursor control system, and compares its performance to that of a previous version. Both systems use classification algorithms that rely on the periodogram estimation of the power spectral density (PSD) of electromyogram (EMG) signals from muscles in the face. The older system requires three electrodes for EMG input, and utilizes an ...

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects transverse friction massage (TFM) on electromechanical delay components and complexity surface activity in rectus femoris (RF) vastus medialis (VM) muscles identify possible mechanisms behind TFM-induced alterations dynamics RF VM activity. Seven female five male healthy subjects participated study. generated maximal voluntary isometric contra...

Background: Like the brain, muscles also generate electrical signals. These signals are picked up by EEG electrodes and become muscle artifacts in EEG recording. MA is looking like fast oscillations. EEG signals disturbed by MA have larger amplitudes than normal EEG signals. Human beings have a large number of muscles all over their bodies. The muscle movement that happens near electrodes, such...

In this study, first the cortical activities over 2240 vertexes on the brain were estimated from 64 channels electroencephalography (EEG) signals using the Hierarchical Bayesian estimation while 5 subjects did continuous arm reaching movements. From the estimated cortical activities, a sparse linear regression method selected only useful features in reconstructing the electromyography (EMG) sig...
