Abstract

In this paper the automatic segmentation of EMG signals based on wavelet representation is presented. It is shown that wavelet representation can be usefull in detecting particular spikes in EMG signals and the presented segmentation algorithm may be usefull for the detection of active segments. The algorithms has been tested on the synthetic model signal and on real signals recorded with transcutaneous multi-point electrode.
