A device was created to demonstrate electromyography-based control to a lay audience. After the success of the initial device, a second device was made with greater flexibility in functionality for demonstration and research purposes. This protocol describes the process of building and calibrating both devices.

Bone Markings

Bones have various surface features that help form joints and attach to other soft tissues. Depending on the function, bone markings are categorized into articulating projections, processes for attachment, depressions, and openings. Articulating Projections Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...

Micro-particle image velocimetry (μPIV) is used to visualize paired images of micro particles seeded in blood flows which are cross-correlated to give an accurate velocity profile. Shear rate, maximum velocity, velocity profile shape, and flow rate, each of which has clinical applications, can be derived from these measurements.

Instantaneous Velocity - I

The average velocity during a time interval cannot tell us how fast or in what direction a particle is moving at any given time during the interval. To calculate this, it is important to know the instantaneous velocity, which is the velocity at a specific instant of time or at a specific point along the path. Instantaneous velocity is the quantity that measures how fast an object is moving along its path. In other words, the instantaneous velocity vx of an object is the limit of the average...

The electrode arrangement is central to the measurement: its electric fields focus particles sharing a velocity onto a common position on the detector. This mapping preserves velocity information spatially, so different locations correspond to different particle speeds or directions. Careful field design therefore determines whether the recorded pattern can reliably represent the underlying momentum distribution.
Velocity Mapped Imaging separates two kinds of information in the image. Spatial position provides speed-related information, while the angular pattern describes how particles are emitted in different directions. Together, these features expose momentum distributions and energy partitioning, showing how available energy is distributed among products rather than merely indicating that particles were produced.
Interpreting the measured pattern can connect particle motion with molecular structure and electronic states. Distinct speed and angular distributions provide information about how a reaction proceeds and how energy is partitioned. In this way, the image supplies evidence about microscopic behavior that cannot be inferred from particle production alone, including differences in reaction dynamics.
A typical experiment first produces charged particles through a process such as photoionization or photodissociation. The particles then travel through electric fields created by arranged electrodes and arrive at a detector as a spatial pattern. Researchers analyze the image for angular and speed distributions, using those measurements to infer reaction dynamics and energy partitioning.
Velocity Mapped Imaging is useful when the research question concerns how particles move after a molecular event. It supports investigations of chemical reactions, photochemistry, and ultrafast molecular dynamics, where momentum patterns can distinguish aspects of reaction behavior. The method connects experimentally measured distributions with the microscopic forces and pathways that govern the event.
In physics, the measured momentum pattern provides a route from observation to mechanism. Angular distributions indicate directional aspects of particle emission, while speed-related information helps assess energy partitioning. Relating these features to reaction behavior allows researchers to study how forces shape microscopic pathways, particularly in molecular processes initiated by light.
