Abstract

The motor function of the tongue often remains intact even in cases of severe movement paralysis. Therefore, tongue movements offer great potential for the design of highly efficient human-machine interfaces for alternative communication and control. This chapter introduces a novel method for tongue movement estimation based on analysis of surface electromyography (EMG) signals from the suprahyoid muscles, which usually function to open the mouth and to control the hyoid position.
