This procedure performs a highpass filtering to the EMG signal in order to remove signal artifacts and baseline noise contamination (such as the DC-bias).
There are various recommendations for the value of the cutoff frequency, for example 5Hz (Merletti, 1999) and 10-20Hz (Freriks et.al., 1999).
An ‘emg’ object which contains the filtered EMG.
This procedure only uses a butterworth type filter of order n
. In order to apply a different type of filter, please see the documentation of the ‘signal’ package.
