Myo armband dataset for some American Sign Language Signs

The dataset consits of .csv files collected from two Myo armbands. The format of the files are [word_name]_[id]. The ‘word_name’ is the English translation of the American Sign Language word used and the ‘id’ is a unique identifier. The .zip for each of the above links has sub-folders for each User.

Each file has 50 columns. They represent a sub-sampled data collection from two Myo devices worn on left and right hands of the signer. The first column is the ‘Counter’ that goes from 1 to 50.

The following columns are of the format: [Sensor][pod/direction][left/right]. For instance the EMG reading for the first EMG pod (out of 8) on the left hand would be called EMG0R and the accelerometer reading for the Z axis on the left hand would be called: AXL
