The surface electromyography (sEMG) analysis can provide information on muscle fatigue status by estimation of muscle fibre conduction velocity (MFCV), a measure of the travelling speed of motor unit action potentials in muscle tissue. This…
Fitness exercises are very beneficial to personal health and fitness; however, they can also be ineffective and potentially dangerous if performed incorrectly by the user. Exercise mistakes are made when the user does not use the proper…
This paper introduces neck-mounted view gaze estimation, a new task that estimates user gaze from the neck-mounted camera perspective. Prior work on egocentric gaze estimation, which predicts device wearer's gaze location within the…
A functional electrical stimulation (FES)-based tracking controller is developed to enable cycling based on a strategy to yield force direction efficiency by exploiting antagonistic bi-articular muscles. Given the input redundancy naturally…
Muscle fatigue is defined as the point at which the muscle is no longer able to sustain the required force or work output level. The overexertion of muscle force and muscle fatigue can induce acute pain and chronic pain in human body. When…
Contactless diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders can potentially improve population health as well as robot behaviours in collaborative settings. However, current diagnosis methods require an in-person physical examination in which a…
Several statistical and machine learning methods are proposed to estimate the type and intensity of physical load and accumulated fatigue . They are based on the statistical analysis of accumulated and moving window data subsets with…
Yoga is widely recognized for improving physical fitness, flexibility, and mental well being. However, these benefits depend strongly on correct posture execution. Improper alignment during yoga practice can reduce effectiveness and…
Human cognitive performance is an underlying factor in most of our daily lives, and numerous factors influence cognitive performance. In this work, we investigate how changes in sleep quality influence cognitive performance, measured from a…
Previous studies showed that natural walking reduces the susceptibility to VR sickness. However, many users still experience VR sickness when wearing VR headsets that allow free walking in room-scale spaces. This paper studies VR sickness…
Databases of electronic health records (EHRs) are increasingly used to inform clinical decisions. Machine learning methods can find patterns in EHRs that are predictive of future adverse outcomes. However, statistical models may be built…
Developing electroencephalogram (EEG) based brain-computer interface (BCI) systems is challenging. In this study, we analyzed natural grasp actions from EEG. Ten healthy subjects participated in this experiment. They executed and imagined…
Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a well-established approach to monitor muscular activity on wearable and resource-constrained devices. However, when measuring deeper muscles, its low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), high signal attenuation,…
Purpose: Critical torque (CT) and work done above it (W') are key predictors of exercise performance associated with neuromuscular fatigue. The aim of the present study was to understand the role of the metabolic cost of exercise in…
Objective. Covert aspects of ongoing user mental states provide key context information for user-aware human computer interactions. In this paper, we focus on the problem of estimating the vigilance of users using EEG and EOG signals.…
Assessment of mental workload in real-world conditions is key to ensure the performance of workers executing tasks that demand sustained attention. Previous literature has employed electroencephalography (EEG) to this end despite having…
Smartwatches have rapidly evolved towards capabilities to accurately capture physiological signals. As an appealing application, stress detection attracts many studies due to its potential benefits to human health. It is propitious to…
Electromyography (EMG) signals are widely used for predicting body joint angles through machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) methods. However, these approaches often face challenges such as limited real-time applicability,…
Prior work demonstrated the potential of using the Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) filter to approximate muscle stiffness and damping from computer mouse movements to predict acute stress levels of users. Theoretically, muscle stiffness and…
Acute psychological stress occurs in a wide range of everyday contexts, including transportation, occupational settings, and physical activity, where its reliable detection could enable adaptive system responses and support human…
