*) EMG measurement (EMG = electromyography): the activity of muscles can be displayed on a screen using superficial electrodes (as with an ECG). It is interesting for musicians to see whether, for example, muscles are being used that do not actually need to be activated, such as unnecessary activation in the shoulder and neck area.
