EMG-GAN is a custom implementation of a Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN), focusing on generating synthetic electromyography (EMG) signals.

• Installation
• Datasets

We strongly recommend the usage of Anaconda for managing python environments. This set-up was tested under Windows 10, Ubuntu and Raspbian.

  $ conda create --name emg_gan python=3.6
	$ conda activate emg_gan
	$ git clone https://github.com/larocs/EMG-GAN
  $ cd EMG-GAN/
  $ pip install -r requirements.txt
	

You can simply run the DCGAN pre-trained model already available inside ./saved_models to generate a batch of emg signals or you can train a new model based on your desired EMG signal.

The model is currently configured for receiving as input a 400-point window of floating-point values, and as output an EMG signal with 2,000 values.

You can change the configurations for the Generator and Discriminator on configuration.json file

Use one of the following, depending on your use case

python generate.py
python train.py

Some metrics are also available for evaluating the generated signal vs the reference signal. You can check below how the generator evolves over 5,000 epochs, and how is the Generator vs Discriminator losses and metrics.

This work uses 2 datasets. One is a private dataset from Parkinson's Disease patients, and the other is NinaPro. NinaPro is an open-source dataset that can be downloaded on: http://ninapro.hevs.ch/ Inside folder "data" you can find an extract from NinaPro DB2 already pre-processed for this work.
