Teager-Kaiser Operator improves the accuracy of EMG onset detection independent of signal-to-noise ratio
(East Carolina University, 2008)
A temporal analysis of electromyographic (EMG) activity has widely been used for non-invasive study of muscle activation patterns. Such an analysis requires robust methods to accurately detect EMG onset. We examined whether ...
