Surface Electromyography

Reflects on developments in noninvasive electromyography, and includes advances and applications in signal detection, processing and interpretation

• Addresses EMG imaging technology together with the issue of decomposition of surface EMG
• Includes advanced single and multi-channel techniques for information extraction from surface EMG signals
• Presents the analysis and information extraction of surface EMG at various scales, from motor units to the concept of muscle synergies.
