Abstract
This study presents a dataset on hand gesture recognition using electromyography (EMG) signals. The data was collected from eight healthy subjects aged between 19 and 35 years, with each subject performing three distinct hand gestures (lifting, grabbing, and flexing). Surface EMG signals were recorded using the Delsys Trigno Wireless biofeedback system from four sensors placed on the dominant hand's Palm A, Palm B, Biceps, and Forearm. The signals were sampled at 2000 Hz and segmented into gesture trials for analysis. The raw EMG data were filtered and processed to extract seven time-domain features across each channel, resulting in 28 total features. These features were reduced using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to six components, which accounted for 95 % of the variance. The dataset was then used to train and test machine learning models (Random Forest and Logistic Regression) for gesture classification. This dataset has potential reuse in developing gesture recognition algorithms, enhancing prosthetic control, or exploring human–computer interaction (HCI) applications.
期刊介绍:
Data in Brief provides a way for researchers to easily share and reuse each other''s datasets by publishing data articles that: -Thoroughly describe your data, facilitating reproducibility. -Make your data, which is often buried in supplementary material, easier to find. -Increase traffic towards associated research articles and data, leading to more citations. -Open up doors for new collaborations. Because you never know what data will be useful to someone else, Data in Brief welcomes submissions that describe data from all research areas.
