Abstract :
In this paper, we describe new methods for the simulation, measurement and representation of sEMG signals. With regard to simulation, we choose a 2-D state space model and suggest a 3-D model which can account for in- homogeneities, nonlinearities and memory in the medium and which can be hardware accelerated through FPGA. With regard to measurement we use surface electrodes with a new amplifier circuit topology, which mitigates the effects of pickup and artifacts. With regard to representation, we describe a method for using wavelets which shows promise for isolating signals of interest.
