Platform for the study of virtual task-oriented motion and its evaluation by EEG and EMG biopotentials.

This paper presents a platform to study the relationship between upper limb kinematic and biopotential measurements. The platform comprises of a haptic joystick, biopotential acquisition systems and 3D rendered virtual tasks that require user interaction. The haptic joystick, named TeeR, reproduces the pronation-supination and flexion-extension movements of the human arm, which are directly mapped to a 2D graphic display.
