EMG Hand movement recognition using Artificial Neural Network and Support Vector Machine

This paper contains detailed information about creating a system capable of classifying arm muscle responses (using EMG signal) into five hand gesture classes. Informations about collecting data, processing it and validating are described. Such system is especially useful for disabled people, but low number of electrodes used creates other possibilities of usage - for example a Human-Computer Interface (HCI). Although it still cannot be used in real life as a prosthesis (we know what to do, but still don’t know how to do it exactly - for example what force to apply) it shows how easily we can interact with signals coming from our body.
