XDMyo
Protocols
Subject
There were 21 able-bodied participants in this study. Approval of the experiment was granted by the Research Ethics Committee of Xidian University.
MYO
A Myo armband, equipped with sEMG and IMU sensors, was used to capture gestures activity. After wearing the Myo armband, each participant was required to perform a hardware calibration procedure. The procedure is to straighten the five fingers together and bend the wrist outward by 90 degrees until the MYO armband cease vibrating.
Signal
The eight-channel sEMG signals were collected at a 200-Hz sampling rate. The three-channel acceleration signals (Acc) and three-channel gyroscope signals (Gyro) were captured at a 50-Hz sampling rate.
Sequence
During the data acquisition, each type of gesture was executed in six repetitive trials. To prevent muscle fatigue, there was a 5 s rest between trials.
Participants performed each static gesture within 5 s and each dynamic gesture within 3 s.

| A | 7 | static | Hand Open | 5 |
| A | 8 | dynamic | Yaw Right | 3 |
| A | 9 | dynamic | Yaw Left | 3 |
| A | 10 | dynamic | Pitch Above | 3 |
| A | 11 | dynamic | Pitch Below | 3 |
| A | 12 | dynamic | Roll Exterior | 3 |
| A | 13 | dynamic | Roll Interior | 3 |
| B | 1 | static | OK | 5 |
| B | 2 | static | Yeah | 5 |
| B | 3 | static | Six | 5 |
| B | 4 | static | Nice | 5 |
| B | 5 | dynamic | NO | 5 |
| B | 6 | dynamic | Come | 5 |
| B | 7 | dynamic | Pinch | 5 |
| B | 8 | dynamic | Raise Hand | 2 |
| B | 9 | dynamic | Release Hand | 2 |
| B | 10 | dynamic | Wave Hand | 2 |
0 indicates a rest phase between the same gestures, and -1 indicates a rest phase between different gestures.

In XDMyo-A, the raw signal data of the 21 subjects included 1,638 (13 × 21 × 6) gestures. The dataset was partitioned into the source-dataset and the target-dataset. The source-dataset comprised data from 15 participants.
