Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Evaluating neurological disease progression requires reproducible motor unit number index (MUNIX) measurements.
  • Inter-channel mixing of electromyography (EMG) signals from high-density electrodes complicates MUNIX reproducibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance MUNIX reproducibility by developing a demixing method for surface EMG (sEMG) signals.
  • To address signal mixing issues using a negative entropy-based FastICA approach.

Main Methods:

  • Acquired composite sEMG signals using high-density surface electrodes.
  • Employed FastICA algorithm based on negative entropy to separate mixed sEMG signals.
  • Validated the method by quantifying signal independence and measuring MUNIX repeatability (CV).

Main Results:

  • Increased channel count reduced CV by $1.5 \pm 0.1$ and decreased adjacent channel correlation by $0.12 \pm 0.05$.
  • Negative entropy-based FastICA significantly reduced interrelationships between sEMG signals.
  • MUNIX repeatability improved as the number of channels increased, optimizing abnormal repeatability patterns.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed negative entropy-based FastICA method enhances MUNIX reproducibility.
  • Utilizing more channels from high-density EMG arrays improves signal separation and reduces variability.
  • This approach offers a more reliable tool for assessing neurological disease progression.
