Article Abstract
Many studies have attempted to monitor fatigue from electromyogram (EMG) signals. However, fatigue affects EMG in a subject-specific manner. We present here a subject-independent framework for monitoring the changes in EMG features that accompany muscle fatigue based on principal component analysis and factor analysis. The proposed framework is based on several time- and frequency-domain features, unlike most of the existing work, which is based on two to three features. Results show that latent factors obtained from factor analysis on these features provide a robust and unified framework. This framework learns a model from EMG signals of multiple subjects, that form a reference group, and monitors the changes in EMG features during a sustained submaximal contraction on a test subject on a scale from zero to one. The framework was tested on EMG signals collected from 12 muscles of eight healthy subjects. The distribution of factor scores of the test subject, when mapped onto the framework was similar for both the subject-specific and subject-independent cases.

Myoelectric control has emerged as a promising approach for a wide range of applications, including controlling limb prosthetics, teleoperating robots and enabling immersive interactions in the Metaverse. However, the accuracy and robustness of myoelectric control systems are often affected by various factors, including muscle fatigue, perspiration, drifts in electrode positions and changes in arm position. The latter has received less attention despite its significant impact on signal quality and decoding accuracy.

This study investigates the flavor perception of strong-aroma Baijiu through physiological electrical signals, focusing on electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) during olfactory and gustatory evaluations. It examines how sensory qualities, especially mellowness, influence brain and muscle responses. Results showed significant differences in EEG δ and β wavebands, mainly in the frontal and temporal lobes, reflecting varying brain activities across Baijiu types.

Objective: Creating an intracortical brain-computer interface (iBCI) capable of seamless transitions between tasks and contexts would greatly enhance user experience. However, the nonlinearity in neural activity presents challenges to computing a global iBCI decoder. We aimed to develop a method that differs from a globally optimized decoder to address this issue.

Opioid dependence is defined by an aversive withdrawal syndrome upon drug cessation that can motivate continued drug-taking, development of opioid use disorder, and precipitate relapse. An understudied but common opioid withdrawal symptom is disrupted sleep, reported as both insomnia and daytime sleepiness. Despite the prevalence and severity of sleep disturbances during opioid withdrawal, there is a gap in our understanding of their interactions.

Our purpose was to compare the influence of the spectral content of motor unit recordings on the calculation of electromechanical delay and on the prediction of force fluctuations from measures of the variability in discharge times and neural drive during steady isometric contractions with the first dorsal interosseus muscle. Participants ( = 42; 60 ± 13 yrs) performed contractions at 5% and 20% MVC. After satisfying inclusion criteria, high-density surface EMG recordings from a subset of 23 participants were decomposed into the discharge times of 530 motor units.
