EMG

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Pectoral fin kinematics and motor patterns are shaped by fin ray mechanosensation during steady swimming in Scarus quoyi
    Brett R. Aiello, Aaron M. Olsen, Chris E. Mathis, Mark W. Westneat, Melina E. Hale
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb211466 doi: 10.1242/jeb.211466 Published 23 January 2020

    Summary: In the absence of pectoral fin ray sensation, increased overlap in activity between antagonistic muscles likely acts to stiffen the fin system in order to enhance control and stability.

  • METHODS & TECHNIQUES
    Development of a deep neural network for automated electromyographic pattern classification
    Riad Akhundov, David J. Saxby, Suzi Edwards, Suzanne Snodgrass, Phil Clausen, Laura E. Diamond
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb198101 doi: 10.1242/jeb.198101 Published 4 March 2019

    Summary: The quality of surface electromyography recordings can be automatically classified with an accuracy of 99.55% by a deep neural network (AlexNet).

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The influence of added mass on muscle activation and contractile mechanics during submaximal and maximal countermovement jumping in humans
    Logan Wade, Glen A. Lichtwark, Dominic J. Farris
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb194852 doi: 10.1242/jeb.194852 Published 16 January 2019

    Summary: Human jumping with added mass favours ankle work output because of enhanced contractile conditions of the calf muscles, resulting from an increased inertial resistance and interaction with an elastic tendon.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Evaluating the triplet hypothesis during rhythmic mastication in primates
    Yashesvini Ram, Callum F. Ross
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb165985 doi: 10.1242/jeb.165985 Published 16 January 2018

    Summary: The prevalence of the jaw elevator triplet motor pattern during mastication is established in five different primate species.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Hindlimb muscle function in turtles: is novel skeletal design correlated with novel muscle function?
    Christopher J. Mayerl, Jenna E. Pruett, Morgan N. Summerlin, Angela R. V. Rivera, Richard W. Blob
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2554-2562; doi: 10.1242/jeb.157792

    Summary: Novel muscle arrangements and leverage patterns associated with derived fusion of the pelvis to the shell in pleurodire turtles are associated with several novel muscle activity patterns in this lineage.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Activation of respiratory muscles does not occur during cold-submergence in bullfrogs, Lithobates catesbeianus
    Joseph M. Santin, Lynn K. Hartzler
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 1181-1186; doi: 10.1242/jeb.153544

    Summary: Persistent neuromotor activity of respiratory muscles in bullfrogs during aquatic overwintering is unlikely to underlie normal respiratory motor function after months without lung breathing, despite having respiratory mechanics that operate underwater.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Pre-landing wrist muscle activity in hopping toads
    Laura J. Ekstrom, Gary B. Gillis
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2410-2415; doi: 10.1242/jeb.113985

    Summary: Toads modulate wrist muscle activation patterns depending on how far they hop, presumably to tune wrist stiffness to the impending force of impact.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Preparing the leg for ground contact in running: the contribution of feed-forward and visual feedback
    Roy Müller, Daniel Florian Benedict Häufle, Reinhard Blickhan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 451-457; doi: 10.1242/jeb.113688
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Functional subdivision of fin protractor and retractor muscles underlies pelvic fin walking in the African lungfish Protopterus annectens
    Brett R. Aiello, Heather M. King, Melina E. Hale
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 3474-3482; doi: 10.1242/jeb.105262
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Environmental interaction influences muscle activation strategy during sand-swimming in the sandfish lizard Scincus scincus
    Sarah S. Sharpe, Yang Ding, Daniel I. Goldman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 260-274; doi: 10.1242/jeb.070482
