A method for the interpretation of signals in afferent nerves from muscle spindles.
A method is proposed for the interpretation of the signals in sensory nerve fibres. It is applicable to systems in which the transfer function between the input to a sense organ and the action potential firing frequency is known. In the present case, the chelonian muscle spindle is considered since its output to ramp-hold-release and sinusoidal stretches can be rather accurately simulated.
