Abstract
Surface electromyography (sEMG) has often enabled operators to generate electrical muscle signals in order to control robotic arms or prosthetics. Alternatively, sEMG has recently been employed to control other types of equipment such as computer keyboards, which indicates that sEMG-machine interfaces can be a means of controlling actual automobiles or computer-simulated automobiles. Therefore, the current study pertains to a sEMG-controlled virtual car in a PC platform driving simulator. A method is proposed for implementing a sEMG-machine interface that controls the steering of the virtual car.
