abstract = "This paper describes classification techniques to
distinguish hand signs based only on electro-myogram
signals of a forearm. Relationship between finger
gesture and forearm electro myogram is investigated by
two signal processing approaches; an empirical
thresholding method and meta heuristic method. The
former method judges muscle activity according to the
criteria experimentally determined in advance, and
evaluates activity pattern of muscles. The latter
learns the electromyogram characteristics and
automatically creates classification algorithm applying
genetic programming. Discrimination experiments of
typical hand signs are carried out to evaluate the
effectiveness of the proposed methods.",
