The paper talks about biomedical signals taken from the spine, brain or muscles themselves to find out which part of the body is the signal meant to move. The processing of EMG signals is inherently tough because of their small amplitude. The transfer function used to process them to obtain signals of workable strength also changes w.r.t. the sensors i.e. surface EMGs or real wired EMGs. For both types have their own strength, they promptly decided to use two sensors for each.
The program will then use a simple correlation algorithm to check inputs coming from the sensors and compare it with the preprocessed one. A good reliability can be expected when the sensors are calibrated specifically to your body.
The applications range from sensing the movements and efficiency of muscles, to using the signals to control prosthetics, or maybe a mimicking robot used to fight(Real Steel style).
