On lightmyography based muscle-machine interfaces for the efficient decoding of human gestures and forces

Scientific Reports, 2023
Conventional muscle-machine interfaces like Electromyography (EMG), have significant drawbacks, such as crosstalk, a non-linear relationship between the signal and the corresponding motion, and increased signal processing requirements.
