\section{The Problem and Its Background}    \subsection{Introduction}  With the advancement of technology and the decline of manual labor, humans try to improve their quality of life using any innovation that they can think of. Technology makes our lives easier and more efficient; in efficient. In  turn, efficiency implies that we can allot the saved time for other tasks. For example, the evolution of buttons to touch screen. This evolution saved precious time by introducing dynamic menus, faster input, and a lot of flexibility; however, flexibility. However,  evolution does not stop there. With the introduction of electromyography (EMG), or the technique of evaluating and recording muscle activity through either a needle (intramuscular) or electrodes on muscles (surface), another form of input was made. It's unclear if it provides a substantial increase in efficiency compared to traditional touch screens; however, screens. However,  having different options for certain situations are favorable. Other forms of input are: speech recognition, eye gaze trackers, and computer vision. These three other forms of input however, are unfavorable in certain situations; electromyography may be used for those situations. Surface EMG may be preferred over intramuscular EMG because it's too professional and expensive. One device that's able to conduct surface EMG is the Myo armband.
