Abstract
Information extracted from multiple channels of the surface myoelectric signal (MES) recording sites can be used as inputs to control systems for powered upper limb prostheses. For small, closely spaced muscles, such as the muscles in the forearm, the detected MES often contains contributions from more than one muscle, the contribution from each specific muscle being modified by the dispersive propagation through the volume conductor between the muscle and the detection points. In this paper, the measured raw MES signals are rotated by class-specific principal component matrices to spatially decorrelate the measured data prior to feature extraction. This "tunes" the data to allow a pattern recognition classifier to better discriminate the test motions. This processing technique was used to significantly ( p < 0.01) reduce pattern recognition classification error for both intact limbed and transradial amputee subjects.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
