Given the recognition of covert muscular activity as a strong indicator of musical intentionality and the previously ascertained link between physical effort and various musical aspects, electromyography (EMG)\u2014signals representing muscle activity\u2014has also experienced a noticeable surge. While EMG technologies appear to hold good promise for sensing, capturing, and interpreting the dynamic properties of movement in music, which are considered innately linked to artistic expressive power, they also come with certain challenges, misconceptions, and predispositions. The paper engages in a critical examination regarding the utilisation of muscle force values from EMG sensors as indicators of physical effort and musical activity, particularly focusing on (the intuitively expected link to) sound levels. For this, it resides upon empirical work, namely practical insights drawn from a case study of music performance (Persian instrumental music) in the context of a music class. The findings indicate that muscle force can be explained by a small set of (six) statistically significant acoustic and movement features, the latter captured by a state-of-the-art (full-body inertial) motion capture system. However, no straightforward link to sound levels is evident.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mti8050037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,7]],"date-time":"2024-05-07T06:53:27Z","timestamp":1715064807000},"page":"37","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Multimodal Embodiment Research of Oral Music Traditions: Electromyography in Oud Performance and Education Research of Persian Art Music"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Stella","family":"Paschalidou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Music Technology and Acoustics, Hellenic Mediterranean University, 74133 Rethymno, Greece"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Leman, M.
