A Japanese Input Method for Mobile Terminals Using Surface EMG Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
The common use of mobile terminals is for text input. However, mobile terminals cannot be equipped with sufficient amount of keys because of the physical restrictions. To solve this problem we developed an input method using surface electromyogram (sEMG), treating arm muscle movements as input signals. This method involves no physical keys and can be used to input Japanese texts. In our experiments, the system was capable of inputting Japanese characters with a finger motion recognition rate of approximately 80%.

An Android Application for Estimating Muscle Onset Latency using Surface EMG Signal
Background: Electromyography (EMG) signal processing and Muscle Onset Latency (MOL) are widely used in rehabilitation sciences and nerve conduction studies. The majority of existing software packages provided for estimating MOL via analyzing EMG signal are computerized, desktop based and not portable; therefore, experiments and signal analyzes using them should be completed locally. Moreover, a...

متن کاملApplication of Surface Electromyographic Signals to Control Exoskeleton Robots
The electromyographic signals abbreviated as EMG, represent the amount of electrical potential generated by the muscle cells when they contract or when they are at rest. Basically, EMG signals can be classified into two types according to the place where they are extracted. The EMG signals detect from inside of the muscles are called as intramuscular EMG whereas EMG signals detect from skin sur...

Introduction In order to improve the quality of life of amputees, biomechatronic researchers and biomedical engineers have been trying to use a combination of various techniques to provide suitable rehabilitation systems. Diverse biomedical signals, acquired from a specialized organ or cell system, e.g., the nervous system, are the driving force for the whole system. Electromyography(EMG), as a...
متن کاملThe nature of periodic input to the muscles.
TO THE EDITOR: There is much interest in the synchronization of neural discharge and its potential role in information coding within the nervous system. To assess oscillatory input to the muscle by means of corticospinal (EEG–EMG) coherence and intermuscular (EMG–EMG) coherence, it is common practice to rectify electromyographic (EMG) signals, although the rationale for rectification remains in...
