Large Muscle Electrodes

Join the Make: editors live on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at 4 PM PT for Make: Live: Volume 96 Show & Tell. We’ll chat with featured authors, including Backyard Brains’ Alex Hatch and his Spiker-Man Web Flinger Project, as they share their builds and the inspiration, experimentation, and elbow grease that brought them to life. REGISTER HERE! Large EMG patches are used in experiments to record muscle electrical activity to study motor control, fatigue, and interface with robotics. Surface electrodes are commonly used on the skin for non-invasive recordings of biceps or forearm muscles, while needle electrodes are used in clinical settings for deeper muscle tissue analysis. Note: 1 unit in the Qty box = 50 electrode patches.
