Objectives: This study examined effects of acute hypoxia on the neuromuscular responses (electromyographic (EMG) amplitude and EMG frequency) and localized muscle tissue oxygenated hemoglobin (oxygenated hemoglobin (Oxy), deoxygenated hemoglobin (Deoxy), total hemoglobin (Total), and muscle tissue oxygenation saturation (StO) during the process of fatigue.
Methods: Fifteen male participants (21.4±2.8yr) performed leg extension repetitions to failure at 70% 1-repetition maximum until volitional exhaustion under Normoxic (FiO:21%) and Hypoxic (FiO:12.9%) conditions. Electromyographic amplitude, EMG frequency, Oxy, Deoxy, Total, and StO were measured from the vastus lateralis at Initial, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100% of the repetitions to failure.
Results: There was no significant difference in the patterns of responses for EMG amplitude, Oxy, or Deoxy between Normoxia and Hypoxia. For EMG frequency, Hypoxia was greater than Normoxia and decreased with fatigue. Total and StO were greater under Normoxia compared to Hypoxia. The patterns of responses for EMG amplitude, Deoxy, and Total increased throughout the repetitions to failure. Oxy and StO exhibited decreases throughout the repetitions to failure for Normoxic and Hypoxic conditions.
Conclusion: The EMG and oxygenation measurements non-invasively suggest a sympathoexcitatory response (indicated by EMG frequency) and provided complimentary information regarding the process of fatigue in normoxic and hypoxic states.

There is a pressing need for biomarkers of violent behavior risk in psychosis. Previous research indicates that electrophysiological measures of automatic defensive reactions may have potential. The purpose of this study was to investigate associations between violent behavior in individuals with and without psychosis and electromyography (EMG) and electroencephalography (EEG) responses to startling auditory stimuli.

Objective: Direct electrical neurostimulation using continuous sinusoidal low frequency alternating currents (LFAC) is an emerging modality for neuromodulation. As opposed to the traditional rectangular pulse stimulation, there is limited background on the characteristics of peripheral nerves responses to sinusoidal LFAC stimulation; especially within the low frequency range (<50Hz). In this study, we demonstrate LFAC activation as a means to activate motor nerves by direct bipolar nerve stimulation via cuff electrodes, and characterize the factors of activation.

Objective: The current study tested whether consciously controlled chewing frequency influences the oral processing of habitually consumed foods and their sensory analysis.
Method: Chewing behaviour was analysed during the mastication of mushed potato samples by 20 participants in two separate test sessions, in which they were instructed to chew the sample in their habitual manner (free chewing test) or follow a preprogrammed video animation displayed on a screen, wich guided them to maintain a constant chewing frequency (F-const chewing test).

We explore an innovative approach to sleep stage analysis by incorporating complexity features into sleep scoring methods for mice. Traditional sleep scoring relies on the power spectral features of electroencephalogram (EEG) and the electromyogram (EMG) amplitude. We introduced a novel methodology for sleep stage classification based on two types of complexity analysis, namely multiscale entropy and detrended fluctuation analysis.

When measuring real-time in vivo muscle fatigue with electromyography (), data collection can be compromised by premature sensor removal or environmental noise; therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a postmortem in vivo methodology to induce muscle fatigue and measure it using EMG. Barrows ( = 20) were stratified by weight and randomly allocated into one of two treatments. The treatments consisted of barrows being subjected to a hog electric stunner super-contraction cycle () or not () postmortem.
