“…Although the system was able to measure the bioelectrical signal, but the attenuation of the ECG signals and motion artefacts greatly reduced the signal resolution. Under the European Union (EU) ConText program, Linz et al (2007) developed the contactless electromyography (EMG) sensors that were embroidered into a textile material for a wearable sensing application [12,13,14]. The sensor’s coupling plate was conductive yarn embroidered onto the textile material.…”

Capacitive biosensors are an emerging technology revolutionizing wearable sensing systems and personal healthcare devices. They are capable of continuously measuring bioelectrical signals from the human body while utilizing textiles as an insulator. Different textile types have their own unique properties that alter skin-electrode capacitance and the performance of capacitive biosensors. This paper aims to identify the best textile insulator to be used with capacitive biosensors by analysing the characteristics of 6 types of common textile materials (cotton, linen, rayon, nylon, polyester, and PVC-textile) while evaluating their impact on the performance of a capacitive biosensor. A textile-insulated capacitive (TEX-C) biosensor was developed and validated on 3 subjects. Experimental results revealed that higher skin-electrode capacitance of a TEX-C biosensor yields a lower noise floor and better signal quality. Natural fabric such as cotton and linen were the two best insulating materials to integrate with a capacitive biosensor. They yielded the lowest noise floor of 2 mV and achieved consistent electromyography (EMG) signals measurements throughout the performance test.

“…In the case where constant contact with the skin is not possible, Langereis et al (2007) describe the work using contactless electrodes for EMG. Such electrodes do not require electrical contact with the skin as they detect an electric displacement current by coupling capacitatively to the body.…”

“…Wearable systems (Paradiso et al 2005;Pacelli et al 2006;Langereis et al 2007;Matthews et al 2007;Pandian et al 2008;Figueiredo et al 2010;Coyle et al 2010;Curone et al 2010;Pantelopoulos and Bourbakis 2010a;López et al 2010;Taraldsen et al 2011) have also been designed to measure a user's biological signals. One such approach has been Matthews et al (2007) ''Physiological Sensor Suite (PSS)'', which gathers electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG), electrooculogram (EOG) and through-hair electroencephalogram (EEG) data.…”

Human–Computer Interaction Series

HCI is a multidisciplinary field focused on human aspects of the development of computer technology. As computer-based technology becomes increasingly pervasive-not just in developed countries, but worldwide-the need to take a human-centered approach in the design and development of this technology becomes ever more important. For roughly 30 years now, researchers and practitioners in computational and behavioral sciences have worked to identify theory and practice that influences the direction of these technologies, and this diverse work makes up the field of human-computer interaction. Broadly speaking it includes the study of what technology might be able to do for people and how people might interact with the technology. The HCI series publishes books that advance the science and technology of developing systems which are both effective and satisfying for people in a wide variety of contexts. Titles focus on theoretical perspectives (such as formal approaches drawn from a variety of behavioral sciences), practical approaches (such as the techniques for effectively integrating user needs in system development), and social issues (such as the determinants of utility, usability and acceptability).
