Electrode placement in SilentWear dataset
I hope you are doing well.
I am currently working on a project involving silent speech recognition using surface EMG signals. I recently came across the SilentWear dataset and found it extremely valuable for my research.
I would like to ask a few technical questions regarding the data acquisition setup:
Is there a detailed diagram or description of the electrode placement on the neck?
Can any of the EMG channels be associated with specific muscle groups or anatomical regions?
Which muscles were primarily targeted during signal acquisition?
How should one interpret the signals in terms of muscle activity, considering possible cross-talk?
This information would be very helpful for properly interpreting the data and strengthening the methodological section of my work.
Thank you very much for your time and for making this dataset publicly available.
Dear David,
Thanks for your question and interest.
You can find all the details regarding electrode placement and corresponding muscle groups in our pre-print: https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.02847.
Specifically, they are described in Sections IIIA and IVA.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you need additional information.
