Abstract Decoding using Bayesian Muscle Activation Estimators

Two recursive Bayesian muscle activation estimators were compared against standard linear filtering during use of a myoelectric abstract decoder. The decoder was controlled by intrinsic muscles of the hand. In both experiments the linear filter outperformed the Bayesian methods in terms of general score. The Bayesian muscle decoders were faster to respond to changes in muscle activity and show promise for significantly enhancing overall decoder communication rate.
