The EMG was recorded and its morphology was characterized by employing preprocessing and pattern analysis techniques for feature extraction. Time series electromyographic (EMG) episodes were conditioned by reduction to 40 representative sample points (approximating the EMG linear envelope), aligning, and taking the Karhuenen-Loeve expansion. To test the hypothesis that biting and hissing responses were reproducible, and yet statistically different from each other, the F test was used to determine the significance of differences in standard deviation of the KLE eigenvectors. It was found that jaw movement was significantly different for biting versus hissing protocols.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":159783,"journal":{"name":"1993 IEEE Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114959967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After repeated contractions caused muscle fatigue, VFT stimulation elicited even greater comparative performance. VFT stimulation may prove useful in the functional electrical stimulation of the latissimus dorsi muscle for cardiomyoplasty.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":159783,"journal":{"name":"1993 IEEE Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129140958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that the width of the PDC usually represents the amount of heart rate variation. The narrow PDC with high peaks implies less heart rate variability, while the wide and flat PDC implies high heart rate variability. Based on the PDC, information entropy has been calculated. Information entropy can give the amount of information needed to specify the state of the PRC or the state of the heart rate variability to an accuracy of the box size. Current work has indicated that large information entropy means large heart rate variability and less predictability. On the other hand, information dimension has been derived from information entropies of the different box sizes. Information dimension is an index of the complexity of a system that generated the data. A low dimension means that less states are needed to describe the system while a large dimension means more states are required to describe the system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":159783,"journal":{"name":"1993 IEEE Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128860677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
