A note on the probability distribution function of the surface electromyogram signal☆

► We recorded surface EMG signals with a biofeedback setup at 7 different contraction levels. ► We estimated the PDF, kurtosis and bicoherence index of the measured signals. ► We show that the EMG PDF at low contraction levels is super-Gaussian. ► At higher contraction forces, the EMG PDF tends to a...
