Abstract

A test for synchronization among the spike trains of muscle afferents or motor units is described which utilizes averages of neurograms and rectified neurograms. Synchronization is quantified by the increase of a synchronization index Is above a theoretical value for asynchrony. The dependence of the Is on signal amplitude and certain experimental conditions and a method of estimating confidence limits for the test are presented.
