A method for quantifying electromyograms
29
TL;DR: A simple system that simultaneously analyzes up to seven channels of EMG signals and provides a data matrix directly from the analog signal without intervening manual steps is described.

Functional morphology of the feeding mechanism in aquatic ambystomatid salamanders
TL;DR: This study addresses four questions in vertebrate functional morphology through a study of aquatic prey capture in ambystomatid salamanders: how does the feeding mechanism of aquatic salamander function as a biomechanical system, what are the major structural and functional patterns in the evolution of the lower vertebrate skull?
Morphology and function of the feeding apparatus of the lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa (Dipnoi).
TL;DR: The feeding mechanism of the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa retains many primitive teleostome characteristics, and the hyoid apparatus plays a major role in mediating expansion of the oral cavity.

Modulatory complexity of the feeding repertoire in scincid lizards
TL;DR: Clearly both species are able to fine tune the activation of the jaw muscles, resulting in the appropriate movement patterns for the type of food eaten, which can be related to food characteristics such as toughness and mobility.

Prey capture in the lizard Agama stellio.
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis of tongue projection in agamids by Smith, and show some striking similarities with muscle activity patterns during the strike in chameleons.

Quantitative electromyography of the masticatory muscles of Pteropus giganteus (Megachiroptera)
Greet De Gueldre,Frits De Vree +1 more
TL;DR: Mastication has been studied by cinematography and quantitative electromyography while flying foxes, Pteropus giganteus, were freely feeding on standardized pieces of apple, soaked raisin, and banana and the product appears to be the best predictor of certain kinematic variables

New Developments in Electromyography and Clinical Neurophysiology.
TL;DR: This is a three-volume publication containing over 2,000 pages in 170 chapters, based largely on papers read at the Brussels International Congress of Electromyography in September 1971, and has attempted to produce an up-to-date account of those aspects of electromyography that are of current interest.

Quantitative assay of electromyograms during mastication in domestic cats (Felis catus).
Gerard C. Gorniak,Carl Gans +1 more
TL;DR: Cats reduce food on one side at a time, and their chewing cycles show both horizontal and anteroposterior deflections, which indicates that food objects are shifted from side to side by lateral jerks of the head and movements of the tongue.
Electromyograms are repeatable: precautions and limitations.
Carl Gans,Gerard C. Gorniak +1 more
TL;DR: Electromyograms recorded by bipolar, fine wire electrodes placed into anatomically equivalent sites in skeletal muscles of vertebrates are repeatable when the animals use the muscles in a similar way and repeatability applies to the number of spikes recorded from a given site and to their average amplitude as well as to the root-mean-square value.
