Harpreet Singh, Parlad Kumar
Abstract
Human-machine interface (HMI) techniques use bioelectrical signals to gain real-time synchronised communication between the human body and machine functioning. HMI technology not only provides a real-time control access but also has the ability to control multiple functions at a single instance of time with modest human inputs and increased efficiency. The HMI technologies yield advanced control access on numerous applications such as health monitoring, medical diagnostics, development of prosthetic and assistive devices, automotive and aerospace industry, robotic controls and many more fields. In this paper, various physiological signals, their acquisition and processing techniques along with their respective applications in different HMI technologies have been discussed.
