Surface electromyography (sEMG) provides a wearable, noninvasive interface to neuromuscular activity for movement decoding and human-computer interaction. Population-scale decoding remains difficult b...
Muscle activity is fundamental to human movement, and understanding its patterns is critical for injury prevention and rehabilitation. Conventional muscle activity monitoring relies on specialized sen...
Pose2Muscle is a pose-driven framework that estimates discrete muscle activity states without requiring surface electromyography (sEMG) during inference. It reformulates muscle estimation as a structured prediction problem, using multi-scale spatio-temporal attention and a directed acyclic graph-based decoder to capture motion patterns and maintain multiple candidate hypotheses. The authors introduce the PoseEMG-43 dataset, comprising 2,992 movement instances from 43 daily-life actions performed by 14 participants, and demonstrate that Pose2Muscle outperforms baseline methods with high accuracy and correlation metrics.

arXiv:2603. 19100v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) enables non-invasive monitoring of brain activity across clinical and neurotechnology applications, yet building foundation models for EEG remains challenging due to differing electrode topologies and computational scalability, as Transformer architectures incur quadratic sequence complexity.
arXiv:2601. 04181v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reliable long-term decoding of gestures from surface electromyography (EMG) is hindered by signal drift caused by electrode displacement, muscle fatigue, and/or posture changes.
arXiv:2607. 27565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pattern-recognition control promises a myoelectric prosthesis that responds to many intended gestures rather than one or two, but the promise has stayed in the laboratory.
Pattern-recognition control promises a myoelectric prosthesis that responds to many intended gestures rather than one or two, but the promise has stayed in the laboratory. A recogniser trained on one person rarely transfers to the next, and useful performance usually demands a fresh round of labelled calibration from the end user.
arXiv:2607. 27568v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recognition accuracy obtained during a recording session does not persist when a user puts on the electrodes again after the electrodes had previously been removed.
LiteEMG-FM is an efficient hybrid CNN‑Transformer foundation model designed for electromyography (EMG) sensing. It is pretrained on 16 diverse upper‑ and lower‑limb EMG datasets, enabling representations that generalize across users and datasets. The model incorporates a lightweight, always‑on 1D‑CNN wake‑up module that filters rest and non‑target activity, activating LiteEMG‑FM only for valid gestures, and is evaluated in full inference offloading, split inference, and full on‑device processing scenarios, showing superior performance over state‑of‑the‑art time‑series foundation models and supervised baselines, especially in zero‑calibration cross‑participant and data‑scarce conditions.
