Weekly Summary

September 12th, 2015

This week I continued working with the EMG Spikerbox and I began working with the Human-Human Interface equipment. I learned more about which nerves and muscles are most responsive when controlling your hand, forearm, and wrist. When electrocuting the bicep with a 9 volt battery, it effects more of the entire arm. In contrast, electrocuting the Ulnar nerve affects more of the forearm and wrist. This is valuable information because in this upcoming week, I plan to continue working with which nerve is most responsive and which would be the best to use for the final in my project.
