Background:

Electromyography (EMG) systems are crucial for neuroprosthetics and human-machine interfaces.
Existing low-density and high-density EMG systems present limitations in research and application.
Medium-density EMG offers a balance between spatial resolution and system complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a research-friendly medium-density EMG system.
To introduce a novel spatio-temporal convolutional neural network for enhanced EMG signal decoding.
To compare the performance of medium-density EMG against low-density systems in grasping tasks.

Main Methods:

Development of a novel medium-density surface EMG system.
Inclusion of eleven volunteers performing standardized grasping tasks.
Implementation of a spatio-temporal convolutional neural network integrating spatial and temporal EMG data.

Main Results:

Medium-density EMG sensors significantly improved classification accuracy compared to low-density systems.
The proposed spatio-temporal neural network demonstrated superior performance over traditional gesture decoding methods.
The system maintained performance within the same physical footprint as lower-density arrays.

Conclusions:

Medium-density EMG systems provide a practical and effective solution for neuroprosthetic research.
The developed system and neural network enhance decoding accuracy for human-machine interfaces.
This approach bridges the gap between low- and high-density EMG, facilitating broader research and clinical applications.
