High SNR EMG Acquisition System for Biofeedback Applications

In this paper, we present the design and development of a simple, cost effective and low power surface EMG signal acquisition unit for a neuromuscular biofeedback system. The paper discusses the acquisition end signal chain, the synthesis of various blocks in the signal chain, wireless transmission of digitized data to a computer and realization of EMG monitoring system.
