Part of the book series: Series in BioEngineering ((SERBIOENG))

Abstract

In this chapter, a case study using a specific wearable Multi-Channel EMG device will be considered. In particular, eight EMG channels will be used through Myo Armband system. The purpose is to deploy a verification biometric system using EMG signals corresponding to hand gestures. More specifically, the idea behind this concept is the capacity to generate a digital signature for each specific hand gesture.
