Introduction: Facial electromyography (EMG) is crucial in clinical and research settings for analyzing muscle activity, diagnosing neuromuscular disorders, and assessing treatment efficacy. Traditional setups require multiple electrodes, rendering them complex and time-consuming. This study evaluates a novel wireless adhesive electrode array for it...
Facial muscles are unique in their attachment to the skin, dense innervation, and complex co-activation patterns, enabling fine motor control in various physiological tasks. Facial surface Electromyography (sEMG) is a valuable tool for assessing muscle function, yet traditional setups remain restrictive, requiring meticulous electrode placement and...
Wired high resolution surface electromyography (sEMG) using gelled electrodes is a standard method for psycho-physiological, neurological and medical research. Despite its widespread use electrode placement is elaborative, time-consuming, and the overall experimental setting is prone to mechanical artifacts and thus offers little flexibility. Wirel...
The human body’s vascular system is a finely regulated network: Blood vessels can change in shape (i.e. constrict, or dilate), their elastic response may shift and they may undergo temporary and partial blockages due to pressure applied by skeletal muscles in their immediate vicinity. Simultaneous measurement
of muscle activation and the correspond...
Objective : To explore noise characteristics and the effect physiological activity has on the link between impedance and noise. Approach : Dry-printed electrodes are emerging as a new and exciting technology for skin electro-physiology. Such electrode arrays offer many advantages including user convenience, quick placement, and high resolution. Her...
Facial muscles play an important role in a vast range of physiological functions, ranging from mastication to communication. Any disruption in their normal function may lead to serious negative effects on human well-being. A very wide range of medical disorders and conditions in psychology, neurology, psychiatry, and cosmetic surgery are related to...
Bio-impedance measurements are widely used to assess various physiological parameters. Contemporary skin electrodes for bio-impedance measurements are cumbersome and novel electrode designs are needed to allow fast and easy placement, long-term stability and user comfort. This investigation introduces dry, printed, bio-compatible electrode arrays,...
The importance of facial muscles is evident in the critical role they play in numerous functions. The purpose of some actions (e.g. chewing, swallowing) is clear. Others, such as yawning and the expression of emotion are more elusive. Despite their ubiquity, the manner by which facial muscles affect physiological processes is not clear. In particul...
