Myoelectric Control of a Computer Based Expert System for Flight Control.
Abstract
The United States Air Force is constantly searching for new ways to transfer information between humans and machines. This goal becomes especially important in situations when conventional communication channels are overloaded or even inoperable. This document describes the results of a research effort to determine the possibility of using electromyographic signals to interface with a computer based expert system. The equipment described here is intended to demonstrate the feasibility of this type of control and facilitate future studies. This document describes a laboratory myoelectric control system which can detect activity in muscles and convert these signals into a digital format. The muscle inputs can then be used for computer control. The purpose of this thesis is to show that this type of control does work. Additional keywords: computer programs; signal processing; microcomputers; Speech.
