Combining Signals Could Make for Better Control of Prosthetics

Caption

Experimental armband can measure both electrical (top row) and pressure signals from arm muscles. Signals from either or both sensors were fed into an algorithm as participants moved their hands with different gestures, positions and weights. The algorithm was able to most accurately classify gestures with a combination of both types of signals.
