Abstract

A myoelectric pattern that is an action potential generated by a coordinated action of a plurality of muscles is measured by a group of surface electrodes on a skin surface, and a feature pattern is extracted from the measured myoelectric pattern. Redundant coding is used to encode the extracted feature pattern into a bit pattern, the coded bit pattern is subjected to pattern classification, and output control signal is generated.
