title: Power spectral distribution of the masseter electromyogram from surface electrodes.
abstract: The power spectral distribution of an electromyogram offers a useful presentation of the myoelectric signal at any level of muscle activity. Various factors which may affect this distribution are considered. A computerized method for obtaining the power spectral distribution for masseter and a study of the effect of bite force and electrode position on this is described.
