I have some sEMG data sets that I want to compare. How can I do this with Matlab?
%% Analysis of EMG data
%An EMG signal has a frequency between 0 to 500 Hz; but the usable
%frequency is between 50 and 150 Hz.
% EMG signal is produced using an instrument called the electromyograph that records electric activity
% produced by muscles.
% The amplitude for surface EMG signals is within the range of 0 to 10 mV.
% sEMG (surace EMG) signals tend to have a DC bias, therefore a high pass
% filter is applied to a cutoff frequency of 50Hz. This high pass filter
% removes any DC bias.
% The root mean-square (RMS): calculated by finding the square root of: squaring each data point,
%summing the squares, dividing the sum by the number of observations.
% RMS value of a signal is a measure of the power of the signal and it
% reflects on the activity in the motor unit during contraction.
% This makes RMS useful in producing waveforms.
% Amplitude of an EMG signal is random with Gaussian Distribution/
% RMS and MA are two parameters used to measure the amplitude.
% MA short for: Mean Absolute value: is a mean of the absolute value of
% EMG signal
% MA is a measure of the area under the rectified EMG.
% In order to calculate MA remove all of the negative phases of the raw EMG
% This is known as: half-wave rectification.
% The MA and RMS provide an estimate of the amplitude of the raw EMG signal.

%%% DFT to describe the signal in the frequency

% The reason I used this function above:
%The execution time for fft depends on the length of the transform.
% It is fastest for powers of two. It is almost as fast for lengths that
%have only small prime factors. It is typically several times slower for
%lengths that are prime or which have large prime factors.
