A new approach for classification of electromyography (EMG) of the flexion and extension signals is introduced here. Multivariate Autoregressive (MVAR) model has been applied to a two-channel set of EMG signals from the biceps and triceps muscles during flexion and extension positions of the elbow. The MVAR coefficients are then used to define the Directed Transfer Function (DTF), which estimates the strength of the direction of the signals flow between the channels. The maximum strength of the DTF was used as the frequency domain features (training data) for EMG classification via support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. As the features obtained from the experiment uniquely describe the flexion and extension, the classifier becomes linear which lead to low level of misclassification. The overall method described here has a potential to detect and classify the type and level of muscular disorder from the way the muscle signals interact with each other.
