What is the best format to store the EMG signals

477 Views Asked by At

I am working with Myo Armband, I am getting live EMG with python and MATLAB. Now I want to store it so that I can use to classify them when I get the same EMG again. Raw EMG return value from -128 to 127 (8-bit value).

My question is, what is a good format to save the EMG signal and why?

If you can save them in .dat, you can use simple load in Matlab or python language. Physionet uses this file format: https://physionet.org/physiobank/database/emgdb/

If you have a large amount of data, I would suggest HDF5 because it is designed for exactly that and can be loaded by a variety of software, along with storing metadata (https://portal.hdfgroup.org)
