Noise—random disturbances of signals—poses a fundamental problem for information
processing and affects all aspects of nervous-system function. However, the nature, amount …

The force exerted by a muscle during a voluntary contraction depends on the number of
motor units recruited for the action and the rates at which they discharge action potentials …

This report describes an early version of a technique for decomposing surface
electromyographic (sEMG) signals into the constituent motor unit (MU) action potential …

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 …

Movements are generated by the coordinated activation of motor units. Recent technological
advances have made it possible to identify the concurrent activity of several tens of motor …

OBJECTIVE: Automatic decomposition of surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals into
their constituent motor unit action potential trains (MUAPTs). METHODS: A small five-pin …

We used surface EMG signal decomposition technology to study the control properties of
numerous simultaneously active motor units. Six healthy human subjects of comparable age …

The purpose of this brief review is to examine the neural adaptations associated with
training, by focusing on the behavior of single motor units. The review synthesizes current …

The human hand has so many degrees of freedom that it may seem impossible to control. A
potential solution to this problem is “synergy control” which combines dimensionality …

The lack of systematic investigations on sex-related differences in motor unit behaviour
poses a challenge in understanding and optimizing health and performance in males and …
