Analysis Of Coherence Between Electromyographic (Emg) Signals To Examine Neural Correlations In Muscular Activation During Standing Balance Tasks: A Pilot Study, Anuj Ojha

Culminating Experience Projects

The motor coordination of the muscles is controlled by the Central Nervous System (CNS), but the precise neural mechanisms for the CNS coordinating the muscles are not completely understood. The purpose of my study was to find the EMG-EMG coherence in different neural frequency bands to examine the neural correlations during muscle activation. EMG signal was recorded from six different healthy young subjects. The EMG signal with sampling frequency fs=1200 Hz was collected for 30 seconds (t=30 sec) from three different muscles on both legs: - tibialis anterior, medial gastrocnemius and soleus. The data were collected for the following four …
