Resumen	Background. The aim of this study was to propose and establish the proof of concept of an approach to synchronize 3D Electromagnetic Articulography (3D-EMA) with Surface Electromyography (SEMG) based on the standard components of this equipment. Methods. The appropriate equipment and instruments were selected according to specifications stablished for this study. Once the necessary equipment was gathered, the proper conditions to synchronize the signals were created. Thus, we selected a SEMG with a switch module incorporated to be able to achieve synchronization of the signals. After the system setup was stablished, chewing tasks were recorded on a healthy volunteer, collecting a proof-of-concept database. The variability among recordings of the database were analyzed in terms of its standard deviation in order to detect possible interferences. Results. The analysis of the chewing task recordings obtained with the synchronized 3D EMA and SEMG signals in the present study did not reveal significant distortions, and all values were within those that had been given by the manufacturers of both of the systems. The method presented the advantage of using only components that are already included with the equipment employed. Conclusion. The method of analysis described in this paper is an effective tool that facilitates the investigation of mandibular movements synchronized in two domains: articulatory movements and electromyographic activity. Thus, it seems promising that it can be applied in different clinical situations to improve the analysis of the complexity of masticatory activity in addition to being able to generate new insights on this topic.
