Multi-channel recording of surface electromyographyic(EMG)signals is very likely to be contaminated by electrocardiographic(ECG)interference,specifically when the surface electrode is placed on muscles close to the heart.A novel fast independent component analysis(FastI CA)based peel-off method is presented to remove ECG interference contaminating multi-channel surface EMG signals.Although demonstrating Multi-channel recording of surface electromyographyic (EMG) signals is very likely to be contaminated by electrocardiographic (ECG) interference, specifically when the surface electrode is placed on muscles close to the heart.
