This repository provides the dataset and MATLAB scripts used in [1]. It is publicly available under GNU General Public License v3.

Repo structure

Note that all scripts are commented with function descriptions, input arguments, returns, etc.

• data/: Dataset containing raw EMG signals for 5 hand gestures from 3 subjects across multiple sessions. For more details check section IV.A (Generating Dataset) in the paper [1].
• funcs/: Contains internal functions for hyperdimensional computing.
• arraymap.mat: 16x4 matrix maps each electrode's physical position in the array to its corresponding channel index in the raw matrices.
• genfilter.m: Generates the filters used in preprocessing EMG signals.
• genheat.m: Generates a set of heatmaps for each gesture from a session (Figure 4b in the paper [1]).
• genlabels.m: Parses raw recording files to create data labels.
• getacc.m: Main function - trains and tests the HD classifier.
• prefilter.mat: Saved filter coefficients from running genfilter.m.

Sample usage

To find the classification accuracy for Subject 1 with N=5 (n-gram length) using 10 trials for training and data from all 64 channels, you can call getacc in the following way:

[out, correct, accs] = getacc(1, 5, 10, [1:64], './data/001-Session1Train/', './data/001-Session1Test/')
