Overview

Electromyograms (EMG) measure the electrical activity of muscles during their contraction using electrodes placed on the surface of the skin. Most useful information in the EMG appears in the envelope of the signal (this is a positive, relatively slow signal that modulates a faster, noisy carrier signal). In this exam you will analyse EMG envelope signals obtained from recordings made during typing, for potential application in control of a robotic hand for typing. These EMG envelopes, eu[n]  and , were obtained from simultaneous recordings on channels 1 and 2 (respectively), using from electrodes at different locations on the forearm. During the recordings, the subject pressed keys on a keyboard with one finger at a time. There were 80 key presses in all, made at a rate of 1 press per second as follows:

• key presses 1-20: finger 1 = index finger,

• key presses 21-40: finger 2 = middle finger,

• key presses 41-60: finger 3 = ring finger,

• key presses 61-80: finger 4 = little finger.

The goal of the application is to use the EMG envelopes, and , to determine when a key press has taken place and which finger (1 to 4) this corresponds to.

This will be done in two stages:

• Question 1: Performing an off-line analysis using principal components analysis of the EMG envelopes. This will identify a two-dimensional projection space in which it is possible to classify which finger was     used to press the key for each segment of the EMG envelope.

• Question 2: Designing and implementing an on-line processing algorithm to determine when a key-press has taken place and which finger (1 to 4) was used. This is based on the principal components analysis    from Question 1.

Question 1: Performing an off-line analysis using principal components analysis of the EMG envelopes. This    will identify a two-dimensional projection space in which it is possible to classify which finger was used to press the key for each segment of the EMG envelope.

Q1a. [4 marks] Figure 1:  Plot the two EMG envelopes, elnl  and e a[n] , over the duration of the recording. Plot elnl in subplot(2,1,1) and ea[n] in subplot(2,1,2). Label your axes showing time in seconds and signal    amplitude in volts. Give the figure a title of Fig. 1. (Note here and throughout the exam, when giving a title to a   figure with subplots, you may apply title to just the first subplot.)

Q1b. [6 marks] The first step in performing principal components analysis is to partition each of the envelopes elnl and e a[n] into 80 one-second segments, each corresponding to a key-press. Call these key-press segments p1, m[k] and p2, m[k] ,  respectively, form=1,.,80 key-presses, and k=1,…,1000 samples.

Extract each segment pj. m[k] , for each electrode. For the first segment of each electrode use samples n= l to 1000 (corresponding to the 1st to 1000th samples of eu[n]  and eznl ); for the second segment use samples    n= 1001 up to 2000, and so on for the 80 key-presses.  (Hint: consider using the Matlab command reshape to produce a 1000x80 matrix, pi , for each electrode with pi. m[k] , k=1,…,1000 , as the columns).

In Figure 2  plot all 80 key-press segments overlaid, plotting those for the first electrode, p1, m[n] , in subplot(2,1,1) and those for the second electrode, p2, m[n] , in subplot(2,1,2). Label your axes showing time in seconds and signal amplitude in volts. Give the figure a title of Fig. 2.

Q1c. [8 marks] The next step in performing principal components analysis is to calculate the mean key-press segments,  and  , over the 80 key-presses for electrodes 1 and 2, respectively. Then use these to

calculate the mean-subtracted key-press segments:   and  , for each key-press m=1,.,80 .

Calculate the mean-subtracted key-press segments:  q1, m[k]  and q2, m[k] , m=1,.,80 . Plot them overlaid in

Plot the first two principal components, hi  and hc in Figure 4, using sample numbers for the timeaxis. Label    your axes showing time in samples and component amplitude (unitless). Give the figure a legend and a title of Fig. 4.

(Note: if you were not able to calculate the mean-subtracted key-press segments,  q1, m[k]  and q2, m[k] ,  you

principal components and : i.e. onto points (ym,yz m)=(hf qm, h⃞qm)    (Eq.1)

Plot the results in Figure 5 as a scatterplot of 2m versus Y1,m . Colour code the points in the figure so that "finger 1" = cyan, "finger 2" = blue, "finger 3" = green and "finger 4" = red. (The colour map cmap is provided for you.
