Park, J., Berman, J., Dodson, A., Liu, Y., Armstrong, M., Huang, H., … Zahabi, M. (2023, June 10). ERGONOMICS, Vol. 6.

By: J. Park *, J. Berman n, A. Dodson n, Y. Liu *, M. Armstrong*, H. Huang n , D. Kaber*, J. Ruiz *, M. Zahabi*

author keywords: Mental workload; prosthesis; classification; machine learning
TL;DR: The findings suggested that task performance measures, pupillometry data, and CPM outcomes, combined with the naïve bayes (NB) and random forest (RF) algorithms, are most promising for classifying cognitive workload. (via Semantic Scholar)

Comparing Reinforcement Learning Agents and Supervised Learning Neural Networks for EMG-Based Decoding of Continuous Movements

2021 43RD ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE IEEE ENGINEERING IN MEDICINE & BIOLOGY SOCIETY (EMBC), pp. 6297–6300.

By: J. Berman n, R. Hinson n & H. Huang n 

Contributors: J. Berman n, R. Hinson n & H. Huang n 

MeSH headings : Electromyography; Humans; Movement; Neural Networks, Computer; Supervised Machine Learning; Wrist Joint
TL;DR: This study aimed to present a new kinematics decoding framework based on reinforcement learning (RL), which combines machine learning and model-based approaches together and suggests that the RL-based kinematic decoder is more robust to changes in movement speeds between training and testing data and has better performance than the SLNN.
