Modelling a project for the development of a neurocomputer interface based on EMG

Abstract

Currently, around the world, various neurocomputer interfaces (NCI) are being actively developed for controlling prostheses, exoskeletons, robots, for interacting with virtual reality, for rehabilitation medicine, and even for professional sports. Development and research in the field of rehabilitation medicine will help partially and fully restore the functional capabilities of people with amputation or congenital defects of the limbs. Thus, the purpose of this work is to review the methods of recording the control signals of bionic devices based on the analysis of physiological and nervous processes in humans and modeling of a project for developing a neurocomputer interface based on EMG using flexible methods of project management. In this regard, first of all, it is interesting to develop a sensor and controller for further use in systems of robotic prostheses. At the moment, the design of the project using flexible methods of project management has been made and the first prototype with five channels for connecting sensors and a USB interface for communication with a personal computer has been manufactured. Also was made the first prototype with 5 channels for connecting sensors and a USB interface for communication with a personal computer.
