Mouse Cursor Control System Using EMG

Abstract

The amputee cannot operate a mouse freely when they use personal computer. Also there are few people who think it easy to use computers among the old. Then, we develop the new type man machine interface using an electromyogram (EMG). The advantage of EMG is the following two. The first is that, we can control EMG freely. The second is that, what is necessary is just to put electrodes on the skin surface. In this study, the operation of a mouse cursor is reproduced (up, down, left, right, right click, left click). We used EMG for the input and the output of the system is mouse cursor operation. Operation of a mouse cursor was judged by the neural network. The neural network was taken as three inputs, two hidden layers, and the one output layer. We were able to do cursor operation 70% reappearance as a result.
