Abstract:
We have developed a technique allowing automatic detection of the precursor of movement beginning based on the analysis of electromyographic signals. Methods for determining the beginning of movement and the moments of movement planning are of urgent need in neuroscience, and a separate problem is the use of muscle electrical activity signals (electromyograms) to accurately determine the beginning of hand movement due to the complexity, short duration and noise of the original signals. This issue is particularly significant for experiments with simultaneous recording of electroencephalograms, when it is necessary to consider the interaction between the structures of the brain. We have found out that in the case when the movement starts on a certain sound signal, the moment of the movement beginning is detected with a some time delay.
