Time-division multiplexing (TDM) for closed-loop myocontrol using electrotactile stimulation. Recording (red) and stimulation (blue) windows were set to 100 and 300 ms in this particular example, respectively. The stimulation was delivered in bursts, producing large artefacts in the recorded EMG. Artefact-free EMG was collected during the recording intervals and processed to update the feedforward command (dashed black line) at the end of the window (i.e., root mean square of the recorded data). A brief 20-ms interval of a dead time (no recording and no stimulation) was inserted in-between the stimulation and recording (white zones) in order to allow the EMG amplifier an additional time to fully recover from the artefacts.
