Researchers use bull’s-eye electrodes to better understand muscle coordination regardless of the direction of muscle fibers

Caption

The traditional sEMG approaches are unable to evaluate the activity of multiple muscles at the same time. This is important to study the coordination of muscles in the human body. To overcome this limitation, researchers from Japan have established a novel measurement system and demonstrated its effectiveness.
