[Possibilities for recognizing and suppressing artifacts in EMG signals].

Two methods are introduced to suppress artifacts in the EMG signal, as can occur with EMG detection. These methods are based upon an adaptive threshold, which depends on the muscle activity measured just before. Even small artifacts are identified and suppressed in a small EMG, so if they are not too long in duration they do not noticeably falsify the muscle activity detection. These methods are quite effective, simple and thus easily realizable.
