BITalino Electromyography (EMG) Sensor

Muscle activation is triggered by bioelectrical signals of very low amplitude sent from motor control neurons on our brain to the muscle fibers. Electromyography (EMG) enables the translation of these electrical signals into numerical values, enabling them to be used in a wide array of applications. Our sensor is especially designed for surface EMG, and works both with pre-gelled and most types of dry electrodes. The bipolar configuration is ideal for low-noise data acquisition, and the raw data output enables it to be used for human-computer interaction and biomedical projects alike.
