A wearable for high-density surface EMG that routes every channel through one multiplexed amplifier chain instead of one chain per channel. The first prototype has four electrodes, and I am expanding it to 8 channels. I own the analog front end, the flex PCB and the electrode-array enclosure.
The idea
High-density EMG usually needs a separate amplifier chain for every electrode. This wearable uses a patented multiplexed architecture instead: every channel shares one mux, amplifier and demux chain. The shared chain keeps the electronics small enough to wear.
What I own
End-to-end prototype development:
- The analog front end
- The flex PCB layout
- The electrode-array enclosure
This is my M.S. research at the University at Buffalo, advised by Prof. Filip Stefanovic.
Status
The first prototype is a four-electrode flex PCB. I am now expanding the design to 8 channels (September 2026).
