Neural Signals and Prosthetic Control

This lecture covers the use of intramuscular EMG signals for prosthetic control, the targeted muscle reinnervation technique, and different types of neural interfaces. It discusses the limitations of myoelectric control strategies and the potential of implantable devices for recording EMG signals. The targeted muscle reinnervation method involves transferring residual arm nerves to alternative muscle sites to control prosthetic arms. Various neural interfaces, such as cuff electrodes and fine electrodes, are explored for improved selectivity and reduced invasiveness in neural signal processing.
