EMG Spectral Moments

Computes spectral moments (M0, M1, M2) over sliding windows. M0 is total power, M1 is the first spectral moment (related to mean frequency), and M2 is the second moment (related to bandwidth). These can be combined to derive the mean frequency (M1/M0) and spectral bandwidth.

Usage

emgSpectralMoments(x, window_sec = 1, overlap = 0.5, assay_name = NULL)

Arguments

x

A PhysioExperiment object with EMG data.

window_sec

Analysis window in seconds (default: 1.0).

overlap

Overlap fraction (default: 0.5).

assay_name

Input assay name (default: first assay).

Value

A data.frame with one row per channel per window, containing columns:

channel

Integer channel index.

window

Integer window number (1-indexed).

m0

Zeroth spectral moment (total power).

m1

First spectral moment (frequency-weighted power).

m2

Second spectral moment (frequency-squared-weighted power).
