EMG is performed using an instrument called an electromyograph, to produce a record called an electromyogram. An electromyograph detects the electrical potential generated by muscle cells when these cells contract. EMG can be performed with needle electrodes, in order to study very localized potentials, or with surface electrodes to stu… text/html 2018-11-01T18:55:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://sensorwiki.org/sensors/electrooculography?rev=1541098549&do=diff Electrooculography (EOG) cleaned uphigher standard Summary An electrooculogram, or EOG, is a recording of the resting potential of the retina.
