Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The basic unit of muscle activity is the motor unit. This means that the analysis of muscle activity should be based on the analysis of the activity of motor units. Although needle EMG can measure a potentials of one or a few motor units, it provides information on only a small part of motor units which construct the target muscle. On the other hand, surface EMG is the sum of potentials generated by the activity of many motor units. However, conventional methods cannot extract from a surface EMG the motor unit activities that overlap and appear at irregular time intervals. In this paper, I propose a method for extracting motor unit activities from single-channel surface EMG.
