Time-domain features capture temporal characteristics of EMG signals
measures the average power of the EMG signal
Calculated as the square root of the mean of the squared signal values: RMS=N1∑i=1Nxi2
Provides information about the amplitude and of the signal ()
count the number of times the EMG signal crosses the zero amplitude line
Reflects the frequency content and complexity of the signal (muscle firing rate)
Higher ZC indicates more high-frequency components or rapid changes in the signal (fast muscle contractions)
Other time-domain features include mean absolute value, waveform length, slope sign changes ( and muscle activity patterns)
Frequency-domain features in EMG analysis
Frequency-domain features reveal the spectral content of EMG signals
decomposes the EMG signal into its constituent frequencies
is a computationally efficient algorithm for FT
Provides information about the power spectrum and dominant frequencies (, fiber type composition)
Features derived from FT include , , (frequency distribution and muscle characteristics)
Wavelet Analysis performs time-frequency decomposition of the EMG signal
Captures both temporal and spectral information simultaneously ()
represent the signal at different scales and translations ()
Features extracted from wavelet coefficients include energy, , (signal complexity and non-stationarity)
Dimensionality reduction for EMG features
Dimensionality reduction techniques help select informative features and reduce computational complexity
transforms the original feature space into a lower-dimensional space
Identifies the principal components that capture the most variance in the data (feature redundancy)
Reduces the dimensionality while preserving the essential information (compact representation)
finds a linear combination of features that maximizes class separability
Projects the features onto a lower-dimensional space that optimizes class discrimination (improved classification)
Feature Selection identifies a subset of relevant features based on certain criteria
