This lecture introduces the average triton crossing method, a signal processing technique used in biomedical engineering to extract information from signals. The instructor explains how to apply this method to analyze EMG signals, emphasizing the importance of setting dynamic thresholds and adapting to different body compositions. The lecture covers the concept of impulse radio for signal transmission and the advantages of ultra wideband systems in robust wireless communication. The instructor demonstrates the practical application of these techniques in measuring muscle activity and recognizing movements, showcasing the efficiency of time-domain signal processing in saving energy and extracting meaningful information from sensor data.
