On the robustness of real-time myoelectric control investigations: a multiday Fitts’ law approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Objective . Real-time myoelectric experimental protocol is considered as a means to quantify usability of myoelectric control schemes. While usability should be considered over time to assure clinical robustness, all real-time studies reported thus far are limited to a single session or day and thus the influence of time on real-time performance is still unexplored. In this study, the aim was to develop a novel experimental protocol to quantify the effect of time on real-time performance measures over multiple days using a Fitts’ law approach. Approach . Four metrics: throughput, completion rate, path efficiency and overshoot, were assessed using three train-test strategies: (i) an artificial neural network (ANN) classifier was trained on data collected from the previous day and tested on present day (BDT) (ii) trained and tested on the same day (WDT) and (iii) trained on all previous days including present day and tested on present day (CDT) in a week-long experimental protocol. Main results . It was found that on average, the completion rate (98.37% ± 1.47%) of CDT was significantly better ( P < 0.01) than that of BDT (86.25% ± 3.46%) and WDT (94.22% ± 2.74%). The throughput (0.40 ± 0.03 bits s −1 ) of CDT was significantly better ( P = 0.001) than that of BDT (0.38 ± 0.03 bits s −1 ). Offline analysis showed a different trend due to the difference in the training strategies. Significance . Results suggest that increasing the size of the training set over time can be beneficial to assure robust performance of the system over time.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
