Abstract

A toy 18 capable of producing at least one human perceptible output is controlled by myoelectric potentials generated by an operator of the toy. A sensor 12, adapted to contact the skin of the operator of the toy, provides an electrical signal having a magnitude proportional to the myoelectric potential developed by the operator of the toy. An amplifier circuit 14, responsive to the electrical signal provided by the sensors, generates a control signal whose magnitude varies as a function of the myoelectric potential. A control circuit 16, responsive to the control signal, operates the toy as a function of the myoelectric potential. <IMAGE>
