Quantitatively Recognizing Stimuli Intensity of Primary Taste Based on Surface Electromyography

A novel approach to quantitatively recognize the intensity of primary taste stimuli was explored based on surface electromyography (sEMG). We captured sEMG samples under stimuli of primary taste with different intensities and quantitatively recognized preprocessed samples with Support Vector Machine...

description A novel approach to quantitatively recognize the intensity of primary taste stimuli was explored based on surface electromyography (sEMG). We captured sEMG samples under stimuli of primary taste with different intensities and quantitatively recognized preprocessed samples with Support Vector Machine (SVM). The feasibility of quantitatively recognizing the intensity of Sour, Bitter, and Salty was verified. The sEMG signals were acquired under the stimuli of citric acid (aq), sucrose (aq), magnesium chloride (aq), sodium chloride (aq), and sodium glutamate (aq) with different concentrations, for five types of primary tastes: Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Salty, and Umami, whose order was fixed in this article. The acquired signals were processed with a method called Quadratic Variation Reduction to remove baseline wandering, and an adaptive notch to remove power frequency interference. After extracting 330 features for each sample, an SVM regressor with five-fold cross-validation was performed and the model reached <i>R</i>2 scores of 0.7277, 0.1963, 0.7450, 0.7642, and 0.5055 for five types of primary tastes, respectively, which manifested the feasibilities of the quantitative recognitions of Sour, Bitter, and Salty.
