The technique of electromyography, used to study the electrical currents generated by muscle action, has become invaluable to researchers in the biological, medical, and behavioral sciences. With it, the scientist can study the role of muscles in producing and controlling limb movement, eating, breathing, posture, vocalizations, and the manipulation of objects. However, many electromyographic techniques were developed in the clinical study of humans and are inappropriate for use in research on other organisms—tadpoles, for example. This book, a complete and very practical hands-on guide to the theoretical and experimental requirements of electromyography, takes into account the needs of researchers across the sciences.

Easy EMGs for non-electrophysiologists,
By
This review is from: Electromyography for Experimentalists (Paperback)
If you are doing animal or human studies and need an EMG, but are not an electrophysiologist this is the book for you. Could be easily re-named "EMGs for Dummies". This book explains the electronics, probes, stimulators and bioamps in a simple, easy to understand, step-by-step way that can make you look like an expert. Everything from simple explanations of electricity (volts, amps, ohms) to anatomy of probe placement. The authors are top-notch and convey vast amounts of understanding to the reader. This book is a must in any animal modeling or human experimentation tool box.
