Bio-Inspired Computing and Networking
computers are connected through serial communication (RS-232) interface for syn-
chronization purposes. EMG signals are acquired using a signal acquisition board
(NI-DAQ 6036E, National Instruments) connected to an EMG system (Bagnoli-
16, Delsys Inc.). Single differential surface EMG electrodes (DE-2.1, Delsys Inc.)
are used. The position tracking system (Isotrak II, Polhemus Inc.) used during the
training phase is connected with the personal computer through serial communi-
cation interface (RS-232). The size of the position sensors is 2.83(W), 2.29(L),
1.51(H) cm.
