What produces the signals in an EMG?

Electromyography (EMG) signals are produced by the electrical activity of muscles. When a muscle contracts, motor neurons release neurotransmitters that stimulate muscle fibers, generating action potentials. These action potentials create electrical signals that can be detected by electrodes placed on the skin or inserted into the muscle. The resulting EMG signals reflect the timing and intensity of muscle contractions, allowing for analysis of muscle function and coordination.
