Detection, identification and removing of artifacts from sEMG signals: Current studies and future challenges.

Surface electromyography (sEMG), a non-invasive technique, offers the ability to identify insights into the activities of muscles in the form of electrical pulses. During the process of recording, the sEMG signals frequently become contaminated by a multitude of different artifacts, the origin of which may be attributed to numerous sources. These artifacts affect the reliability and accuracy of the pure sEMG activity, and subsequently reduce the quality of analysis and interpretation.
