A number of researchers prefer using multi-channel surface electromyography (sEMG) pattern recognition in hand gesture recognition to increase classification accuracy. Using this method can lead to computational complexity. Hand gesture classification by employing single channel sEMG signal acquisition is quite challenging, especially for low-rate sampling frequency. In this paper, a study on the pattern recognition method for sEMG signals of nine finger movements is presented. Common surface single channel electromyography (sEMG) was used to measure five different subjects with no neurological or muscular disorder by having nine hand movements. This research had several sequential processes (i.e., feature extraction, feature reduction, and feature classification). Sixteen time-domain features were employed for feature extraction. The features were then reduced using principal component analysis (PCA) into two and three-dimensional feature space. The artificial neural network (ANN) classifier was tested on two different feature sets: (1) using all principal components obtained from PCA (PC1–PC3) and (2) using selected principal components (PC2 and PC3). The third best principal components were then used for classification using ANN. The average accuracy using all subject signals was 86.7% to discriminate the nine finger movements.

Power Line Interference

Surface electromyography (sEMG) signals mainly contain power line interference (PLI), white Gaussian noise (WGN), and baseline wandering (BW) noise. These noises lead to the problems of poor feature extraction performance and low recognition rate. In this paper, we propose a novel sEMG signal processing method named filtering and self-enhancement algorithm with classical wavelet (FSECW) algorithm, which denoises interference noises of raw signals and improve the pedestrian motion pattern recognition rate. The proposed FSECW algorithm contains two core parts: in the first part, the original signal is reconstructed after four-layer wavelet decomposition. This part decreases the BW noise and enhances the active segment; in the other part, band-pass filtering and lifting wavelet transformation are used to reduce noises inside and outside the sEMG signal band. Then two signals from the above parts are multiplied. Thus, the enhanced filtered signal of the active segment is obtained. After feature extraction, the algorithm uses classical machine learning algorithm for motion pattern recognition. Experimental results show that the proposed FSECW algorithm does not need to set different thresholds for different data sets with the same motion pattern. Moreover, it has better adaptability to conversions of different motion patterns.

SUMMARY Kernel principal components (KPC) and kernel discriminant coordinates (KDC), which are the extensions of principal components and discriminant coordinates, respectively, from a linear domain to a nonlinear domain via the kernel trick, are two very popular nonlinear feature extraction methods. The kernel discriminant coordinates space has proven to be a very powerful space for pattern recognition. However, further study shows that there are still drawbacks in this method. To improve the performance of pattern recognition, we propose a new learning algorithm combining the advantages of KPC and KDC

The Relationship

OBJECTIVEThe activation of the sensorimotor cortex as measured by electrocorticographic (ECoG) signals has been correlated with contralateral hand movements in humans, as precisely as the level of individual digits. However, the relationship between individual and multiple synergistic finger movements and the neural signal as detected by ECoG has not been fully explored. The authors used intraoperative high-resolution micro-ECoG (µECoG) on the sensorimotor cortex to link neural signals to finger movements across several context-specific motor tasks.METHODSThree neurosurgical patients with cortical lesions over eloquent regions participated. During awake craniotomy, a sensorimotor cortex area of hand movement was localized by high-frequency responses measured by an 8 × 8 µECoG grid of 3-mm interelectrode spacing. Patients performed a flexion movement of the thumb or index finger, or a pinch movement of both, based on a visual cue. High-gamma (HG; 70–230 Hz) filtered µECoG was used to identify dominant electrodes associated with thumb and index movement. Hand movements were recorded by a dataglove simultaneously with µECoG recording.RESULTSIn all 3 patients, the electrodes controlling thumb and index finger movements were identifiable approximately 3–6-mm apart by the HG-filtered µECoG signal. For HG power of cortical activation measured with µECoG, the thumb and index signals in the pinch movement were similar to those observed during thumb-only and index-only movement, respectively (all p > 0.05). Index finger movements, measured by the dataglove joint angles, were similar in both the index-only and pinch movements (p > 0.05). However, despite similar activation across the conditions, markedly decreased thumb movement was observed in pinch relative to independent thumb-only movement (all p < 0.05).CONCLUSIONSHG-filtered µECoG signals effectively identify dominant regions associated with thumb and index finger movement. For pinch, the µECoG signal comprises a combination of the signals from individual thumb and index movements. However, while the relationship between the index finger joint angle and HG-filtered signal remains consistent between conditions, there is not a fixed relationship for thumb movement. Although the HG-filtered µECoG signal is similar in both thumb-only and pinch conditions, the actual thumb movement is markedly smaller in the pinch condition than in the thumb-only condition. This implies a nonlinear relationship between the cortical signal and the motor output for some, but importantly not all, movement types. This analysis provides insight into the tuning of the motor cortex toward specific types of motor behaviors.

Instrumental odour monitoring systems (IOMS) are intelligent electronic sensing tools for which the primary application is the generation of odour metrics that are indicators of odour as perceived by human observers. The quality of the odour sensor signal, the mathematical treatment of the acquired data, and the validation of the correlation of the odour metric are key topics to control in order to ensure a robust and reliable measurement. The research presents and discusses the use of different pattern recognition and feature extraction techniques in the elaboration and effectiveness of the odour classification monitoring model (OCMM). The effect of the rise, intermediate, and peak period from the original response curve, in collaboration with Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as a pattern recognition algorithm, were investigated. Laboratory analyses were performed with real odour samples collected in a complex industrial plant, using an advanced smart IOMS. The results demonstrate the influence of the choice of method on the quality of the OCMM produced. The peak period in combination with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) highlighted the best combination on the basis of high classification rates. The paper provides information to develop a solution to optimize the performance of IOMS.

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that causes repeated breathing interruption during sleep. The performance of automated apnea detection methods based on respiratory signals depend on the signals considered and feature extraction methods. Moreover, feature engineering techniques are highly dependent on the experts’ experience and their prior knowledge about different physiological signals and conditions of the subjects. To overcome these problems, a novel deep recurrent neural network (RNN) framework is developed for automated feature extraction and detection of apnea events from single respiratory channel inputs. Long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) are investigated to develop the proposed deep RNN model. The proposed framework is evaluated over three respiration signals: Oronasal thermal airflow (FlowTh), nasal pressure (NPRE), and abdominal respiratory inductance plethysmography (ABD). To demonstrate our results, we use polysomnography (PSG) data of 17 patients with obstructive, central, and mixed apnea events. Our results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in automatic extraction for temporal features and automated detection of apneic events over the different respiratory signals considered in this study. Using a deep BiLSTM-based detection model, the NPRE signal achieved the highest overall detection results with true positive rate (sensitivity) = 90.3%, true negative rate (specificity) = 83.7%, and area under receiver operator characteristic curve = 92.4%. The present results contribute a new deep learning approach for automated detection of sleep apnea events from single channel respiration signals that can potentially serve as a helpful and alternative tool for the traditional PSG method.
