A surface EMG signal represents the linear transformation of motor neuron discharge times
by the compound action potentials of the innervated muscle fibers and is often used as a …

Movement is accomplished by the controlled activation of motor unit populations. Our
understanding of motor unit physiology has been derived from experimental work on the …

This brief review discusses the methods used to estimate the neural drive to muscles from
the surface electromyogram (EMG). Surface EMG has been classically used to infer the …

Motor units are the smallest functional units of our movements. The study of their activation
provides a window into the mechanisms of neural control of movement in humans. The …

The surface interference EMG signal provides some information on the neural drive to
muscles. However, the association between neural drive to muscle and muscle activation …

Although the behaviour of individual motor units is classically studied with intramuscular
EMG signals, recently developed techniques allow its analysis also from EMG signals …

The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between linear transformations of motor
unit discharge rates and muscle force. Intramuscular (wire electrodes) and high‐density …

Key points The spinal alpha motoneuron is the only cell in the human CNS whose discharge
can be routinely recorded in humans. We have reengineered motor unit collection and …

This article is the first section of a review work structured in three parts and concerning a)
advances in surface EMG detection and processing techniques, b) recent progress in …

Objective. Surface electromyography (EMG) decomposition techniques can be used to
establish human-machine interfacing (HMI), but most investigations are implemented offline …
