Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We employed EMG (electromyography) for investigating neck muscle activations in head rotations with different attentional states. Measured EMG signals were analyzed based on the concept of muscle synergy and wavelet coherence. The results show the basic mechanism of the head rotations and strong effects of attention on the muscle activation patterns.
