This page will guide you through the first steps of setting up the Core EMG system and recording your first measurements.
Intro to EMG
System Unboxing & Setup
The unboxing video covers the following steps:
- Install the MR software.
- Plug in & set up the system in the MR software.
- Learn how to assign sensors to muscles and start a measurement.
- For more detailed setup images, view the Core EMG Quick Start Guideđź”—.
EMG Measurement Preparation, Electrode Placement, and Signal Check
Learn how to:
- Prepare the skin
- Place electrodes – (SENIAM đź”— is the resource for electrode placement mentioned in the video).
- Check the EMG signal quality before measurement.
Measurement
The video tutorials below explore common measurement needs, such as signal processing, normalization, and biofeedback training.
Tools for Biofeedback Training:
- How to use visual and audio biofeedback tools for real-time muscle activation training.
Signal Processing Tools:
- How to use signal processing tools such as Amplitude Normalization, Smoothing, and more for real-time measurements and post processing.
- Refer to the ABC of EMG đź”—for education on which processing to use.
- Learn more about key techniques and practival recommendations for EMG signal processing đź”—.
Amplitude Normalization Tutorial:
- How to use an MVC (Maximum Voluntary Contraction) or other normalization activity to normalize EMG data.
Visit our Reporting and Customization đź”—section for more details on analysis and reporting with EMG.

Adding a Ninox reference camera
If your Core EMG system came with a Ninox reference camera, learn more about setting up your Ninox camera and synchronizing it with the Core EMG system in our Ninox Quick Start Guide.
Using a MyoSync?
If you’re synchronizing Core EMG with other Noraxon devices, reference the MR4 Synchronization Guide to learn how to configure the MyoSync and sync settings for other devices in MR4
