Abstract
Non-evoked electromyographic signals range from several hundred microvolts for voluntary contractions to less than a microvolt for resting activity. C alibration of EMG recording equipment at such low levels may prove problema tic. We have designed a useful battery operated calibrator for low level EM G recording in areas such as bio-feedback and stress management.
