Research Task 1 (06/22/15 - 07/03/15)


EMG
  1. Browse through the internet and look for the low-cost (< $1,000) EMG product information. Your search should include commercially available EMG machines, lab-use EMG boards, and DIY EMG kits. Organize the information into spreadsheet table including columns such as no. of channels, signal amplification, signal delay, frequency range, physical dimension, connection, prices, etc.
EMG Signal
  1. ABC of EMG (2005), Peter Konrad. [signal origin and acquisition, 25 pages] A easy introduction of EMG signal and acquisition.
  2. Fundamental Concepts in EMG Signal Acquisition, Delsys. [31 pages] This tutorial give us an in-depth introduction about EMG signal acquisition. It will help you understand the theory behind the scene.
  3. Relating Forearm Muscle Electrical Activity To Finger Forces (2014), Jennifer Keating. [section 1-3, 40 pages] This thesis covers the first half of our project by detecting the electrical activity from the forearm. It provides an overview of how our project will be structured, conducted, and what are the areas we need to have further study.
Please take electronic notes while you are studying the materials, watching the videos, or browsing through the web. Each team will present their learning later in the summer meeting.
