Surface EMG sensors for tracking hand activity? [resolved]
I'm relatively new to using OpenBCI hardware and software. [Currently] I'm using cyton daisy board, with surface emg sensors attached to my forearm, to collect/monitor activity of motion of my digits. I can see activity more clearly on the middle and ring finger than the other digits. Is there an optimum poition to place sensors to pick up activity for the thumb, index and little finger?
Is there any other tips I should be aware of for using surface emg sensors?
Currently the sensors are placed (4) across the forearm, close to the crease of the arm and the other (4) sensors are placed further up, close to the wrist.
Thanks.

Thank you, I hadn't seen these diagrams before. I'll try it out in the coming weeks - thanks.
