muscle fatigue assessment has been the basis of numerous studies, specifically, in neuromuscular rehabilitation and the applications of fessystems. various emgbased techniques, in time and frequency domains, have been investigatedover years for the detection and evaluationof this phenomenon. the main objective of this study has beento evaluate the efficiency of applying a number of techniques w...

background: muscle fatigue is an important issue in neuromuscular rehabilitation. better control of this phenomenon would result in better prevention of its consequent physiological damages. objective: to provide a mathematical representation of muscle fatigue as a function of time. methods: we conducted this study by combining the emg-based estimation methods of muscle activation with the avai...

introduction: purkinje cell (pc) output displays a complex firing pattern consisting of high frequency sodium spikes and low frequency calcium spikes, and disruption in this firing behavior may contribute to cerebellar ataxia. riluzole, neuroprotective agent, has been demonstrated to have neuroprotective effects in cerebellar ataxia. here, the spectral analysis of pcs firing in control, 3-acety...

introduction many features, emerging from mathematical techniques, have been used in the analysis of brain signals. in this study, the physical quantity of “moment of inertia” (moi) was introduced as a feature to enhance high-frequency waves (hfws) in electroencephalography (eeg). materials and methods in this research, the recorded eegs from f3, f4, and cz points in 20 males were used. a total...

the record of human brain neural activities, namely electroencephalogram (eeg), is generally known as a non-stationary and nonlinear signal. in many applications, it is useful to divide the eegs into segments within which the signals can be considered stationary. combination of empirical mode decomposition (emd) and hilbert transform, called hilbert-huang transform (hht), is a new and powerful ...

An inspection of signal processing approach in order to estimate underwater network cardinalities is conducted in this research. A matter of key prominence for underwater network is its cardinality estimation as the number of active cardinalities varies several times due to numerous natural and artificial reasons due to harsh underwater circumstances. So, a proper estimation technique is mandat...
