sEMG of Larynx Functions

This dataset is associated with an IEEE journal submission titled: "Prediction of larynx function using multichannel surface EMG classification" by the associated authors. The dataset consists of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals recorded from 10 study participants (5 control, 5 laryngectomees), each undertaking 3 recording sessions.

During each session the following were recorded:

•     15 recordings of swallowing: 5 dry; 5 water; 5 solid (e.g. banana or biscuit).
•     3 recordings of coughing, with each recording containing 5 coughs.
•     3 recordings of speech, in which the participant read aloud 10 sentences from the Harvard sentences (IEEE, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Speech Quality Measurements, " IEEE Trans. Audio Electroacoust., vol. 17, no. 3, pp. 225-246, 1969).
•     6 recordings of movements typical of daily life (standing, sitting, reaching, twisting and walking).

Additionally, high speed video was recorded during swallowing, pneumotachometry during coughing and sound during speech.
