I came across some EKG (electrocardiogram) electrodes, and I'm planning on doing a little EMG project. I have started to read here and there but I could find any complete article on it, and I don't really know where to start. I tried using some differential amplifiers but couldn't really see even the slightest difference in the signal (The calculated Gain should have been about 100). I saw some ideas about using a instrumental amplifier, but I couldn't get anything from the simple differential amp. No movement in the signal what so ever, only some noise from the power grid (I think).
What I want to ask you is:
Can I use these EKG electrodes to detect EMG signal?
Can someone help and show me where to start?
