An Electromyograph (EMG) is defined as a test which measures muscle response to nerve stimulation. It is used to evaluate muscle weakness and to determine if the weakness is related to the muscles themselves or a problem with the nerves that supply the muscles.

Electromyograph biofeedback refers to the feedback that reflects activity of the skeletal muscles. Electromyograph biofeedback is also called EMG biofeddback.

refers to measurement of muscle tension through electrical sensors at skin surface

Electromyography refers to a method utilizing either surface electrodes or fine wire/needle electrodes to detect the action potentials of muscles and provide an electronic readout of the contraction intensity and duration.

Electron transport chain refers to a series of cytochromes in the mitochondria that are responsible for oxidative phosphorylation.

- Electronic brainstorming (EBS) : Electronic brainstorming (EBS) refers to generation of ideas and solving problems using computer-based communication methods such as online discussions and real-time e-mail rather than face-to-face sessions.

Electronic diaries is defined as a technique used in behavior assessment in which individuals carry hand-held computers that are programmed to prompt the individuals to complete assessments at that moment in time, in participants' natural environment.
