Abstract

The time course of the motility of the stomach can be monitored non-invasively from the cutaneous Electrogastrogram (EGG). Recently, we observed that the serosal spike activity signals responsible for triggering the peristaltic contractions can also be detected from the surface recordings. This paper investigates the variability of the frequency and energy content of the serosal and cutaneous spike activity signals which effect the detectability from cutaneous signals
