ACTIVE ELECTRODES:
Two active electrodes are placed

These electrodes measure the EMG
activity at the muscle site.
REFERENCE ELECTRODES:
One reference electrode is placed in
close proximity to the two active
electrodes, often on a bony
prominence. This electrode helps to
eliminate “common noise,” that is,
electrical activity that is not part of
the signal at the muscle site.
