Special attention is directed to the phase spectrum and the effects of observational noise. We calculate the theoretical phase spectrum for a second order linear stochastic process and compare the results to measured tremor data recorded from subjects who did not show a synchronized EMG activity in the corresponding extensor muscle. The results show that physiological tremor is well described by the proposed model and that the measured EMG represents a Newtonian force by which the muscle acts on the hand.9 pages, 6 figures, to appear in Biological CyberneticsChaotic DynamicsQuantitative BiologyCross-spectral analysis of physiological tremor and muscle activity.
