I have been discriminating single motor unit recordings for seven years in the Neurophysiology of Movement Lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder. After giving several 1-on-1 tutorials to members of the lab I decided to broaden my audience by making narrated screencasts available online.
This episode is a quick demonstration of how quickly you can discriminate a single motor unit if your signal is of good quality and you have had some practice using Spike2.
This episode details the process for editing WaveMark channels.
This episode details the process for combining two separately discriminated segments of the same EMG signal into one permanent channel in Spike2.
This episode details how to save the discrimination of two separate motor units into a permanent channel for each.
This episode details the process for visually inspecting the second motor unit discrimination for unusually long or short interspike intervals.
This episode depicts how I manually inspect the second motor unit in the EMG signal.
This episode details the process of examining interspike interval length in order to identify errors in the automated discrimination.
This episode describes the process of visually inspecting the automated discrimination of the first unit in the signal.
This episode details the process of creating different waveform templates and applying them to the MEG signal in order to automatically discriminate between the two units.
Up to this point, previous episodes have considered a signal with one dominating waveform.
