Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insight into the field of electromyography (EMG) is provided, with emphasis on the information content of myoelectric signals and their possible application to the control of external apparatus and to the modification of an individual's normal behavior by neuromuscular conditioning. The primary objectives of this research are (1) to survey and analyze literature published since 1955 dealing with EMG techniques and applications (other than in the field of medical diagnosis), and (2) to prepare a forecast of possible developments in EMG of interest to the Army Research Office during the next 10 to 20 years. The study is aimed at potential military application of EMG techniques and phenomena in such areas as the design of novel or improved man-machine systems as well as in the selection or training of personnel for assignments involving critical perceptual or motor skills. Appendixes to the report contain bibliographies of over 250 reference items which include abstracts, journal indexes, and document-availability information.
