What is EMG?

Electromyography (EMG) is a technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles.

Electromyography is used in some real-world applications like,

  1. Prosthetic hands, 
  2. Human augmentation, 
  3. Games controllers, 
  4. Rehabilitation and 
  5. Physical therapy to name just a few.

Even doctors are using them for the diagnosis of various neuromuscular ailments.

Recently, It was in the news that Meta is working on wearable EMG sensors to track user movements in the metaverse.

The image below shows an EMG signal recorded with Muscle BioAmp Candy.

Connecting with Arduino and BioAmp Cable:

To get started, you can pair Muscle BioAmp Candy with any development board with an ADC (Arduino UNO & Nano, Espressif ESP32, Adafruit QtPy, STM32 Blue Pill, BeagleBone Black, Raspberry Pi Pico, to name just a few) or any standalone ADC of your choice.

To measure the EMG signals, connect either BioAmp Cable v2 or BioAmp Cable v3 with your muscle sensor as shown in the images below:

CAUTION: Make sure to follow the above diagram while making the connections between your Muscle BioAmp Candy & Arduino (or any other ADC of your choice), especially the GND and VCC else it may damage the muscle sensor.

How to use it?

Why did we make Muscle BioAmp Candy?

EMG devices are typically quite expensive, as they are medical-grade diagnostic devices. But with an affordable EMG sensor like this, you can record biopotential signals from muscles, conduct experiments and make amazing projects at a fraction of the cost of a professional EMG machine.

We want to make neuroscience affordable and accessible to all so that students and researchers get inclined towards neuroscience and explore it by doing awesome projects at ease.

  1. Sai Sushanth

    I bought 3 bioamp candy sensors I was working very well. I bought 2 sensors from Amazon but they are scrap. and support from the team is tremendous they even helped me in my final project also

  2. Rameet Singh Sachar (verified owner)

    They worked well and have small form factor than other bio amp from upside-down labs
