In the head and neck, several different muscles may be affected: the sternocleidomastoid, mylohyoid, digastric, temporalis, tongue, and perioral group muscles.
We recorded EMG activity (or submental EMG [SMEMG]) on the second channel of the EMG apparatus using bipolar silver chloride EEG (electroencephalographic) electrodes taped under the chin over the mylohyoid-geniohyoid-anterior digastric muscle complex (Figure 1(a)-(b)).
It is defined superiorly by the temporal bone, posteriorly by the vertebrae and prevertebral muscles including their fasciae, and laterally by the mandible, the posterior belly of the digastric muscle and the medial pterygoid muscle.
