EMG (electromyogram) is the correct answer.

Dr. Norman uses the EMG, also known as electromyogram, in order to study the tension in a participant's neck muscle while he/she completes an exhausting physical task. The use of EMG physiological measurement is very important since it helps to detect neuromuscular abnormalities by measuring muscles response to a nerve's stimulation of the muscle.
