Stationary versus bifurcation regime for standing wave central pattern generator.

The purpose of this research is to show that the correlation analysis on surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals that originally confirmed existence of a standing wave central pattern generator (CPG) along the spine are reproducible despite evolution of the entrainment technique, different hardware and data collection protocol.

The Network Spinal Wave as a Central Pattern Generator

Objectives: This article explains the research on a unique spinal wave visibly observed in association with network spinal analysis care. Since 1997, the network wave has been studied using surface electromyography (sEMG), characterized mathematically, and determined to be a unique and repeatable phenomenon.

On a Standing Wave Central Pattern Generator and the Coherence problem

An electrophysiological phenomenon running up and down the spine, elicited by light pressure contact at very precise points and thereafter taking the external appearance of an undulatory motion of the spine, is analyzed from its standing wave, coherence, and synchronization-at-a-distance properties.

Letter to the Editor: Network Spinal Analysis

There has been much debate about the objective basis of Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) and Network Spinal Analysis Care. I and a number of my colleagues set out to study this. Our work during the last 10 years has revealed some significant objective, repeatable, reliable, and measurable changes, which are the subject of a full paper being submitted for publication.

Visualization of a stationary CPG-revealing spinal wave

Central Pattern Generator (CPG) is still an elusive concept that has a visual manifestation as a rhythmic oscillation commanded from the spine, but that also has another manifestation as a train of bursts in the surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals recorded on the para-spinal muscles.
