  • Devices, systems, and methods for controlling computing devices via neuromuscular signals of users
    Patent number: 11481031
    Abstract: The disclosed human computer interface (HCI) system may include (1) at least one processor, (2) a plurality of sensors that detect one or more neuromuscular signals from a forearm or wrist of a user, and (3) memory that stores (A) one or more trained inferential models that determine an amount of force associated with the one or more neuromuscular signals and (B) computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to (I) identify the amount of force determined by the one or more trained inferential models, (II) determine that the amount of force satisfies a threshold force value, and in accordance with the determination that the amount of force satisfies the threshold force value, (III) generate a first input command for the HCI system. Various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
