Finer-grained decoding at a phoneme or syllable level is a key technology for continuous recognition of silent speech based on surface electromyogram (sEMG). This paper aims at developing a novel syllable-level decoding method for continuous silent s...
In recent years, hand gesture recognition (HGR) technologies that use electromyography (EMG) signals have been of considerable interest in developing human-machine interfaces. Most state-of-the-art HGR approaches are based mainly on supervised machin...

BACKGROUND: Machine-learning-based myocontrol of prosthetic devices suffers from a high rate of abandonment due to dissatisfaction with the training procedure and with the reliability of day-to-day control. Incremental myocontrol is a promising appro...
Muscle electrophysiology has emerged as a powerful tool to drive human machine interfaces, with many new recent applications outside the traditional clinical domains, such as robotics and virtual reality. However, more sophisticated, functional, and ...
In recent years, the neural control mechanisms of the arms and legs during human bipedal walking have been clarified. Rhythmic leg stepping leads to suppression of monosynaptic reflex excitability in forearm muscles. However, it is unknown whether an...

The impact of emotions on health, especially stress, is receiving increasing attention. It is important to provide a non-invasive affect detection system that can be continuously monitored for a long period of time. Multi-sensor fusion strategies can...
The lack of intuitive and active human-robot interaction makes it difficult to use upper-limb-assistive devices. In this paper, we propose a novel learning-based controller that intuitively uses onset motion to predict the desired end-point position ...
In the field of the muscle-computer interface, the most challenging task is extracting patterns from complex surface electromyography (sEMG) signals to improve the performance of myoelectric pattern recognition. To address this problem, a two-stage a...
