Abstract

The need of biofeedback in man-machine interfaces is of vital importance for the development of subconscious control with external devices. In order to obtain extended proprioception, in other words, to include the external devices into the body schema, we need to provide with more feedback channels to the human body. In this study we look into the use of electrical stimulation as biofeedback and its effects over the pattern recognition process from the EMG signals that controls the hand movements
