Electromyography signal acquisition and analysis system for finger movement classification

Electromyography (EMG) is very important to capture muscle activity. Although many jobs establish data acquisition system, however, it is also essential to demonstrate that these data are reliable. In this sense, one proposes a design and implementation of a data acquisition system with the Myoware device and the ATmega329P microcontroller. One also proved its reliability by classifying the movement of the fingers of the hand, with the help of the algorithm k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and the application of Classification Learner code of Matlab. The results show a success rate of 99.1%.
