Read and process EMG data (*.emt)?

I'm interested in opening and processing EMG signals acquired and stored in a *.emt data format - essentially a txt with the signal values saved in open text. Before building up a custom function using fread or something like that to parse the information from the text I'd like to know if there is any tool ready to be used (i think it is a standard file format for EMG).

Thanks for the help!

Search the File Exchange. I did not find any specific mention of .emt files, however I may not be doing the correct search.

Also, the company that created that hardware might have MATLAB function files available to read the files and return the data, so search that site to see if they exist.

The only reference I could find is a Python function emg_analyzer.

Thanks for the help. Did not find anything on the File Exchange. I'm considering switching directly to python and make use of the material you mentioned.

My pleasure!

One option is to use Python to import it, then save it as something MATLAB can read without problems, then use MATLAB for the analysis.

Hi,

I understand that you want to analyse the EMG signal data which is stored in .emt file and you want to know whether there is a standard method provided by MATLAB which you can use in your implementation.

As of now, there is no inbuilt method that MATLAB provides to read .emt files. As the .emt is an unsupported file format so to read that you need to write custom logic. You can use "fopen” to open the file and then you can use “fread” to read the content of the file based on the format to parse the content, for more information you can refer this link.

Hope it helps!
