Assessing accelerometry as an alternative to electromyography for mouse sleep scoring
For sleep scoring in rodents, the use of electromyography (EMG) is considered the gold standard to assess muscle tone; however, EMG electrodes require invasive surgical implantation, are sensitive to muscular placement, can have extensive noise due to non-muscular signal contamination, and are at risk of failure due to mechanical stress. The use of an accelerometer (Acc) integrated on the…
