Multiple Motor Unit Recordings of Laryngeal Muscles: The Technique of Vector Laryngeal Electromyography

Objectives To display time‐series firing rate and recruitment data for multiple, simultaneously active motoneurons activating human laryngeal muscles. These data provide specific information about how laryngeal muscle force is being controlled by the central nervous system at the level of the lower motoneuron.
