Figure 3

1D mesh dipole magnitude and orientation. Dipole magnitude (left) and orientation (right) computed using a 1D mesh over a period of 8 s. Over this time period a slow wave appears at the proximal and disappears at the distal end. The first and second maxima in the dipole magnitude, which occur at M1 and M2, are orientated along the principal axis of the intestine, with the solid black arrow indicating the direction of movement of the dipole head. Note that the intial dipole orientation is in the negative Y direction due to a previous wave repolarising at the distal end of the mesh.
