Optimizing EMG Signal Processing and Machine Learning for Prosthetic Thumb Control

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to develop a machine learning model to classify electromyography (EMG) signals for thumb movement, with the long term goal of creating a continuous, near real time (NRT) model control system for prosthetic thumbs.
