ABSTRACT
This paper presents synchronous kinesthetic interaction among people. The users are able to perceive muscle activity bi-directionally, such as muscle contraction or rigidity of joints, through somatosensory channels in a realistic manner. We have developed a wearable haptic I/O device, named bioSync, that equips a developed electrode system for enabling the same electrodes to perform biosignal measurement and stimulation. We conducted a pilot study to evaluate the optimal forms of a feeding spoon for people with neuromuscular disorders by reproducing muscle tremors in healthy people. Potential scenarios for achieving interactive rehabilitations and sports training are also described. It is essential for both the trainers and the learners to perceive not only the physical bodily motions but also the muscle activity.

bioSync: A Paired Wearable Device for Blending Kinesthetic Experience
CHI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present a novel, paired, wearable system for combining the kinesthetic experiences of two persons. These devices allow users to sense and combine muscle contraction and joint rigidity bi-directionally. This is achieved through kinesthetic channels ...

sEMG-based continuous estimation of joint angles of human legs by using BP neural network
In this paper, we propose an mth order nonlinear model to describe the relationship between the surface electromyography (sEMG) signals and the joint angles of human legs, in which a simple BP neural network is built for the model estimation. The inputs ...
