Abstract
Methods of bionic control of a device include passing an alternating current through a muscle to cause the muscle to contract, recording an electrophysiological signal from the contracting muscle, processing the electrophysiological signal to determine a measurement of electrical impedance, forwarding the measurement of electrical impedance to a controller, and controlling the device with a control action. A change of electrical impedance during muscle contraction is used as a basis for the control action.

A method of bionically controlling a device comprising:
- passing an alternating current through a muscle to cause the muscle to contract,
- recording an electrophysiological signal from the contracting muscle,
- processing the electrophysiological signal to determine a measurement of electrical impedance,
- forwarding the measurement of electrical impedance to a controller, and
- controlling the device with a control action wherein a change of electrical impedance during muscle contraction is used as a basis for the control action.
