Spatially Filtered Low-Density EMG and Time-Domain Descriptors Improves Hand Movement Recognition

Surface Electromyogram (EMG) pattern recognition has long been utilized for controlling multifunctional myoelectric prostheses. In such an application, a number of EMG channels are usually utilized to acquire more information about the underlying activity of the remaining muscles in the amputee stump. However, despite the multichannel nature of this application, the extracted features are usually acquired from each channel individually, without...
