Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving one or more neural signals at an electromyography (EMG) device, wherein the one or more neural signals are based on electrical activity of one or more voluntary muscles of a user of the EMG device; filtering the one or more neural signals to generate a plurality of channel signals using the EMG device; determining a touch event based on the plurality of channel signals, wherein the touch event relates to user input for a touch-based interface of a touch-enabled device, and wherein determining the touch event based on the plurality of channel signals comprises: calibrating the EMG device based on the rate of channel-state generation and a threshold rate of channel-state generation; receiving an indication of the touch event at the touch-enabled device; determining a touch operation for the touch-enabled device based on the touch event; and performing the touch operation using the touch-enabled device.
