Abstract

The objective of this paper is to determine the impact of varying depth on the action potential across a muscle fiber. Electrophysiological Imaging has improved the clinical uses of Electroencephalography (EEG) and Electrocardiography (EKG). Despite this, electromyography remains too difficult to implement due to the difficulty of interpreting muscle pathological states. Standard EMG is recorded from few points on a muscle, whereas EEG and EKG use a collection of points to determine the appropriate diagnosis. In this study, we designed and implemented modeling and simulation techniques to investigate the impact of varying depth on the action potential recorded from surface electrodes.
