    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Surface electromyogram (EMG) decomposition is crucial for understanding motor control.
    • Existing methods like FastICA face challenges with local convergence and accurate motor unit identification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel progressive FastICA peel-off (PFP) framework for enhanced high-density surface EMG decomposition.
    • To improve the accuracy and completeness of motor unit spike train extraction.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a shift-invariant model for surface EMG signal description.
    • Implemented a peel-off strategy to iteratively remove identified motor unit action potential trains.
    • Utilized constrained FastICA for refining extracted spike trains and correcting errors.

    Main Results:

    • Validated the PFP framework on simulated EMG signals with varying motor unit numbers and SNRs, achieving high F1-scores.
    • Successfully identified an average of 14.1 ±5.0 motor units from experimental 64-channel surface EMG data of the first dorsal interosseous muscle.

    Conclusions:

    • The PFP framework significantly enhances the decomposition of high-density surface EMG signals.
    • This method offers improved accuracy and a greater number of extracted motor units compared to conventional approaches.
