EMG-based brain-computer interfaces

Electromyography (EMG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are systems that translate muscle activity into commands for devices, allowing users to control technology with their thoughts and muscle signals. In an EMG BCI, sensors placed on the skin detect electrical signals from muscles, which are then processed to interpret the user’s intentions. This technology enables people with physical disabilities to interact with computers, robotic arms, or other devices, enhancing their ability to communicate and perform tasks independently. EMG BCIs show promise in various applications, from assistive technologies to gaming and rehabilitation.
