Facial EMG channels and corresponding facial regions (lower face—LF, upper face—UF) and monitored location.</p
Facial sEMG during different exercise intensities.
Capture of facial expression (a); Raw signal from the zygomaticus major muscle (Ch8) (b); The estimated Wlech’s power spectral density (PSD) (c); Corresponding accelerometer and gyroscope 3-axis data (d and e).</p
Experimental setup.
The sEMG multi-electrode array sticker placement on a participant, with the channel numbers corresponding to each electrode, in both upper and lower facial regions. Also shown are the VL EMG unit and the DAU supporting 16-channel facial EMG recording and acceleration data collection of the head.</p
Neutral facial expression ratio (NFER) calculated for all 16 channels during the test, indicating signal’s stability throughout the intensity range (N = 6).

Examples of post-processing of data recorded of voluntary smiles during the exercise test.
Differential sEMG (filtered) data from electrode pairs (A); 3 fastICA that was applied upon the signals recorded from all 16 channels (B); Corresponding heatmaps that depict the activated muscles resulted from the ICA analysis (C); The cycling protocol with marks of the instructed voluntary smiles (shadowed green) (D).</p
Correlation coefficient table between normalized RMS values of sEMG data of each channel and RMS of VL muscle.
