🥁 EMG Rhythm Game with Motion Monitoring

Welcome! This is a rhythm-based game where you tap notes using your muscle activity — powered by EMG (Electromyography) from your biceps. Simultaneously, gyroscope data is visualized to monitor wrist or elbow movement range, useful for tracking motor control or rehab progress.


⚡ Signal Setup

This game uses:

Device required: Shimmer3R (EMG + Gyro)
Firmware: v1.0.22 or later


💪 EMG Electrode Placement — Biceps

  1. Flex your elbow to locate the bulging bicep
  2. Place the two EMG electrodes (brown and red) along the muscle belly, aligned with the arm. Note: The brown and red electrodes are interchangeable because the EMG signal is rectified (absolute value is used)
  3. Place the green reference electrode on a neutral bony area (e.g. wrist, elbow, or shoulder)

✅ Tip: Flex your biceps to trigger in-game actions. You can adjust the activation threshold using the slider — increasing it makes detection less sensitive, while lowering it makes it more sensitive.
