nervePulse: Intervals Between Pulses Along a Nerve Fibre

Description

Times between successive electric pulses on the surface of isolated muscle fibres.

Usage

data(nervePulse)

Arguments

Format

The nervePulse data is a vector with 799 observations.

Details

The end-plates of resting muscle fibres are the seat of spontaneous electric discharges. The occurence of these spontaneous discharges at apparently normal synapses is studied in depth in Fatt and Katz (1951). The frequency and amplitute of these discharges was recorded. The times between each discharge were taken in milliseconds and this has been converted into the number of 1/50 sec intervals between successive pulses. There are 799 observations.
