In this study, we investigate suitable image reconstruction algorithms for EIT to enable the reconstruction of the conductivity distribution in the forearm section inferring muscle contractions at different hand signs. As EIT image reconstruction is an ill-posed inverse problem, the Gauss-Newton algorithm needs many iterations for the determination of suitable values of the regularization parameter and corresponding calculations of the Jacobian matrix. To reduce computational effort, we propose to use machine learning algorithms to directly reconstruct the EIT image. We explore the Radial Basis Neural Network (RBNN) and a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1DCNN), which has been trained based on the measured EIT data for eight subjects, ten hand signs with ten trials. Both methods reach a low deviation at 0.0017 for RBNN and 0.0109 for CNN.  \nIndex Terms – Image reconstruction, EIT, CNN, RBNN, Hand signs  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nEIT is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses electrical currents to reconstruct the internal conductivity distribution of an object [1]. EIT is a radiation-free and cost-effective technology with applications in diverse fields such as medical imaging, geological exploration, industrial process monitoring, and environmental studies [2] . In EIT, low-amplitude electrical currents are injected between two electrodes on the surface of an object, and the resulting voltages are measured between other electrodes. These measurements are used to reconstruct a 2D or 3D image. Due to its portability and safety, EIT is increasingly being used in clinical filed such as monitoring lung ventilation, cerebral hemodynamics, breast cancer detection, and gesture recognition [3] .  \nHand signs (HSs) are a nonverbal communication approach in which the human hand expresses emotions or information. HSs are increasingly important in technology, particularly in humancomputer interaction. With the proliferation of touchscreens, motion sensors, and augmented reality devices, it has become an intuitive and natural way to interact with technology [4] . In healthcare, it's being used to develop more intuitive and non-invasive interfaces for medical devices, enabling doctors and surgeons to control equipment and medical data. As such, the potential for revolutionizing the way to interact with technology and making it more accessible and intuitive for everyone lies within the development of HSs technology[5] . Different movements in the wrist move the internal muscle tissue and bones, which alters the conductivity distribution in the forearm. EIT can be used to reconstruct the conductivity distribution of the forearm because the EIT electrodes are unaffected by the external environment [6] .  \n© 2023 by the authors.–Licensee Technische UniversitätIlmenau, Deutschland.  \nIntelligent Algorithms can also be an alternative to traditional reconstruction algorithms, which are always considered a regression problem [7]. Therefore, it can be classified into evolutionary methods and Neural Networks (NN) . Evolutionary methods primarily include the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) [8][9] by lowering the root mean relative square error between simulated and measured data. The evolutionary algorithms are difficult to attain high precision, and the computation process is time-consuming. The NN method avoids the linearization of EIT im","cbCainqoxP7HVYly","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainqoxP7HVYly","pdf",693110,1,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Motivation for EIT and ill-posed
