# NeuroPose — emg2pose regression baseline

*Figure 6 of Liu et al. (2021), CC BY.*
Meta's released `regression_neuropose.ckpt` from the
[emg2pose benchmark](https://github.com/facebookresearch/emg2pose), rehosted with
[braindecode](https://braindecode.org)'s own parameter names so it loads directly:
```python
from braindecode.models import NeuroPose
model = NeuroPose.from_pretrained("braindecode/NeuroPose-emg2pose")
```
16-channel sEMG at 2 kHz in, 20 joint angles per sample out — `(batch, n_chans, n_times)`
to `(batch, n_times, n_outputs)`.
## Provenance
These are **not** retrained weights. They are the authors' released checkpoint with only
the parameter names rewritten: upstream stores every block in a single `nn.Sequential`,
while braindecode splits them across `encoder` / `resnet` / `decoder`. Loading the
original `.ckpt` into `braindecode.models.NeuroPose` and running both implementations on
the same input gives bit-identical outputs (max absolute difference 0.0, 6,354,903
parameters in both).
The Hub checkpoint uses Braindecode-native parameter names; upstream naming is handled
once during publication rather than by the runtime model.
## Architecture
Liu et al.'s encoder / ResNet / decoder, in the configuration emg2pose used for its
published baseline: encoder widths 32/128/256 pooling (10,2) (8,2) (4,4) over
(time x electrodes), five residual blocks of three conv groups, decoder 128/32/1
upsampling (10,4) (8,4) (4,2).
## License and attribution
Weights are Meta's, released under **CC BY-NC-SA 4.0** — non-commercial, share-alike.
That license carries over here unchanged. The UmeTrack hand model used for the forward
kinematics behind the labels is CC BY-NC 4.0.
