Strong Support
Measuring muscle electrical activity with sensors on the skin during bicep exercises doesn’t tell us where the muscle will grow more or less—this finding is from the abstract summary, full study details were not available.

Regional hypertrophy of muscle cannot be predicted by surface electromyography
Cross-Sectional Study
Human
The study found that muscle activity measured by sensors on the skin didn’t show differences between two bicep exercises, even though they might grow muscle in different areas—so the measurement doesn’t predict where muscle grows.
