Two-channel enhancement of a multifunction control system.
The enhancement of an existing myoelectric control system has been investigated. The original one-channel system used an artificial neural network to classify myoelectric patterns. This research shows that a two-channel control system can improve the classification accuracy of the pattern classifier significantly, thus improving the reliability of the prosthesis.
