A previously proposed method for the interpretation of the signals in sensory nerve fibres is extended to incorporate/3 activation of muscle spindles. Simulations, based on previous experimental observations, of muscle spindles subjected to ramp and hold stretches are used as input to an "interprete

β¦ Synopsis
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.

The properties of some receptors with afferent fibres in the cat's posterior knee joint nerve have been examined, especially those discharging tonically with the joint in intermediate positions between full flexion and extension. Some of these receptors behave like muscle spindles, and respond to ma
