ICPEF · The Interaction between the Central and Peripheral Exercise-Related Fatigue

Understanding the complex interactions between the fatigue and neuromuscular activation has been under intensive research for more than a century. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most challenging research topics in neurophysiology. The factors influencing the development of fatigue involve both peripheral (muscle) and central (spinal and supraspinal) aspects but their complex interactions are yet to be illuminated.The main objective of the proposed project is to develop and assess the computer-aided computational techniques for extraction of joint information provided by multichannel EMG and EEG before, during and after the fatiguing exercises. This includes: a) the decoding of neural drive to the muscle based on the decomposition of multichannel surface and intramuscular EMG
