Abstract

Applications of neural machine interfaces have received increased attention during the last decades. It is crucial to realize the continuous control of prosthetic devices based on biological signals. In order to deal with the highly nonlinear relationship between the Electromyography (EMG) signals and motion, this study presents a novel decoding approach which employs multi-output support vector regression (M-SVR). The proposed M-SVR is compared with other popular regression techniques and the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of M-SVR in hand continuous movement trajectory reconstruction.
