Abstract
The TCA (tremor coherence analyzer) project proposes a portable system to asses instantaneously muscle coupling using surface electromyography (SEMG). The present article shows preliminary results that justify the use of this portable tool to detect sudden emergence of neuro-oscillators during typical diagnosis tasks in people with pathological tremor. The final aim of the presented system is to assess oscillators coupling instantaneously. This type of tool is very helpful in order to study neuromotor disorders such as tremor and to assess drug therapy
