Presentation description

Electromyographic (EMG) signals are a measure of the electrical activity within muscles when they contract and are use in the control of prostheses, robotics, exoskeletons, and human-computer interfaces. Most of the power in an EMG signal is contained between 50 and 500 Hz, and most recording devices sample the muscle signals at 1 kHz to fully capture these frequencies. Here we explore which components of EMG signal are critical for control in order to minimize computational input on devices.
