A microvolt calibrator for EMG systems.
Non-evoked electromyographic signals range from several hundred microvolts for voluntary contractions to less than a microvolt far resting activity. Calibration of EMG recording equipment at such low levels may prove problematic. We have designed a useful battery operated calibrator for low level EMG recording in areas such as bio-feedback and stress management.
