Methods and apparatus for using are provided for using neural signals to drive touch screen devices. An electromyography (EMG) device can receive neural based on electrical activity of one or more voluntary muscles of a user of the EMG device. The EMG device can filter the neural signals to generate a plurality of channel signals. A touch event can be determined based on the plurality of channel signals. The touch event can relates to user input for a touch-based interface of a touch-enabled device. The touch-enabled device can receive an indication of the touch event. The touch-enabled device can determine a touch operation for the touch-enabled device based on the touch event and then perform the touch operation.
