Interpretable Supervised Muscle Network Decomposition by Multifactorial ANOVA-ICA by Jun-Ichiro Hirayama

“…The resulting ANOVA-ICA provides a framework for identifying interpretable modes of systematic variation in muscle networks, allowing each mode to be explicitly associated with individual task-/subject-related factors or their combinatorial effects as modeled by ANOVA. The proposed method is tested on intermuscular coherence networks obtained through surface electromyography for postural control during standing and longitudinal running training. …”
