The extraction of neural information from the surface EMG for the control of upper-limb prostheses: emerging avenues and challenges
Despite not recording directly from neural cells, the surface electromyogram (EMG) signal
contains information on the neural drive to muscles, ie, the spike trains of motor neurons …
