Event: From EMG Signals to Muscle Synergies: Theory, Methodology, and Hands-On Application Using R

Registration via https://event.ugent.be/registration/EMGtoMSyn from 26-03-2026 09:00 until 23-08-2026 23:00

Description

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to EMG acquisition, processing, and analysis, with a focus on muscle synergies in neuromotor control research. Participants will learn theoretical foundations, methodological considerations, and practical applications, including hands-on work with open-access R-based scripts. The programme spans developmental and clinical populations, from newborns to adults and post-stroke patients. By combining expert-led lectures with practical exercises, participants gain skills to analyse and interpret EMG data in their own research.
