Abstract

Electromygraph or EMG is a device used to measure and record muscle signal. The developments of microelectronics allow the design and realization of such a device with current off-shelf components. The authors developed system consists of multi-channel analog circuitry and is microcontroller based to facilitate connectivity with a computer or laptop as a recording platform. From this developed system, the authors further improve the system by referring to the previous result. One of the improvements is the user controllable gain of each channel. However, beyond the improvement to the system, the use it in an acupuncture experiment for recording muscle signal during the acupuncture process. This paper also explores the possibility of implementing muscle signal as a control for an assistive system and integrating it for an integrated bio-signal recording system.
