TLDR
In this paper, the origin of multifractality of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals during dynamic contraction in nonfatigue and fatigue conditions was analyzed and the results indicated that sEMG signals exhibit multifractal behavior.Abstract:
The aim of this study is analyze the origin of multifractality of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals during dynamic contraction in nonfatigue and fatigue conditions. sEMG signals are recorded from triceps brachii muscles of twenty two normal healthy subjects. The signals are divided into six equal segments on time scale for normalization. The first and sixth segments are considered as nonfatigue and fatigue condition respectively. The source of multifractality can be due to correlation and probability distribution. The original sEMG series are transformed into shuffled and surrogate series. These three series namely, original, shuffled and surrogate series in nonfatigue and fatigue conditions are subjected to multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA) and features are extracted. The results indicate that sEMG signals exhibit multifractal behavior. Further investigation revealed that origin of multifractality is primarily due to correlation. The origin of multifractality due to correlation is quantified as 80% in nonfatigue and 86% in fatigue conditions. This method of multifractal analysis may be useful for analyzing progressive changes in muscle contraction in varied neuromuscular studies.read more

A systematic review on fatigue analysis in triceps brachii using surface electromyography
TL;DR: This study will guide and direct new researchers to areas that remain hidden in the human triceps brachii muscle through surface electromyography (sEMG) observations and identify areas that require further in-depth research.

Multifractal Analysis of Uterine Electromyography Signals for the Assessment of Progression of Pregnancy in Term Conditions
TL;DR: The Hurst and scaling exponents extracted from the signals indicate that uterine EMG signals are multifractal in nature and can help in investigating the progressive changes in uterine muscle contractions during pregnancy.

Analysis of concentric and eccentric contractions in biceps brachii muscles using surface electromyography signals and multifractal analysis
TL;DR: It appears that these multifractal features extracted from the concentric and eccentric contractions can be useful in the assessment of surface electromyography signals in sports medicine and training and also in rehabilitation programs.

Analyzing the influence of curl speed in fatiguing biceps brachii muscles using sEMG signals and multifractal detrended moving average algorithm
TL;DR: Results show that multifractal features are able to differentiate sEMG signals in fatiguing conditions and the multifractality increased with faster curls as compared with slower curl speed by 12%.

Bubbles, shocks and elementary technical trading strategies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a unified framework for a set of seemingly disparate models for bubbles, shocks and elementary technical trading strategies in financial markets. But their model shares its origins in statistical physics with others, and it does not explicitly represent a phase transition from random to deterministic behaviour in prices.

Surrogate data test for nonlinearity including nonmonotonic transforms
TL;DR: It is shown that monotonicity of the transform in the surrogate data test, which diminishes the applicability of the test, is not necessary and a modified algorithm appropriate for nonmonotonic transforms, called corrected AAFT (CAAFT), is proposed.

Muscle conduction velocity, surface electromyography variables, and echo intensity during concentric and eccentric fatigue
TL;DR: The effects of the muscle damage produced by ECC exercise on the transmission of action potentials along muscle fibers (measured as the CV) may be comparable with the effects of hydrogen accumulation produced by CON exercise (related to greater lactate concentrations), which causes greater force loss and change in other sEMG variables during CON than during ECC actions.

TL;DR: The results indicate that Shannon entropy and Katz-Castiglioni were the most sensitive algorithms and proved to be promising tools for the non-invasive identification and quantification of differences in fish responses.

TL;DR: It was found that taking the natural logarithm of NSM and WI, although reducing the parameters' sensitivity to fatigue, increased SVR scores by reducing variability.
