Educational visualisation
Functional EMG Mapping: a bilateral C0–S5 teaching representation with its educational scope stated on the page.
Research
Development as a continuous discipline.
Our process is documented, iterative and grounded in anatomy. We publish no scientific claims and cite no studies we have not conducted.

Development phases
- 01
Anatomical mapping
A region is defined using dermatomal and plexus surface anatomy before any composition work begins.
- 02
Formulation design
Carrier, texture and ingredient selection are matched to the characteristics of the chosen surface region.
- 03
Practice feedback
Prototypes are reviewed with healthcare professionals for usability, tolerance of use and clarity of protocol.
- 04
Refinement
Findings are consolidated into the next iteration. Development is continuous rather than final.
Timeline
Development to date
A record of how the method and the documentation reached their current state.
- 2021Anatomical frameworkFirst systematic index of dermatomal and plexus surface territories used as a working reference.
- 2022Formulation architectureThe principle of composing to a defined surface region, rather than to a symptom, is formalised.
- 2023Protocol disciplineApplication routines are standardised: region, sequence, frequency and documentation.
- 2024Educational modelsFunctional EMG Mapping and related teaching representations are developed for professional education.
- 2025Knowledge platformAnatomy, library, formulations, protocols and research are consolidated into one connected reference.
- 2026Institutional documentationMethod versioning, roadmaps and publication policy are made public as part of continuous refinement.
Roadmap
Research in preparation
Work is listed before it is complete, with its stage stated.
Next
Segmental documentation set
A complete reference sheet per indexed metamer, reviewed with practice partners before release.
Planned
Extended atlas layers
Viscerotomes, sclerotomes, myotomes, autonomic pathways and SRST mapping as additional educational layers.
Long term
Structured observation framework
A documentation format allowing practitioners to record application consistently across time.
Publication policy
SIRIAM LAB does not reference third-party studies to imply efficacy, and does not present internal observations as clinical evidence. Any future publications will be listed here in full, with methodology and authorship disclosed.
