The effect of electrode displacements on pattern recognition based myoelectric control.
Pattern recognition based myoelectric controllers rely on a fundamental assumption that the patterns detected under a given electrode are repeatable for a given state of muscle activation. Consequently, electrode displacements on the skins surface affect the classification accuracy of the pattern based myoelectric controller. The effects of electrode displacement can be mitigated by using a training set of data which consists of patterns detected over a range of plausible displacement locations to train the control system.
