Figure 7From: Simulation and analysis of spatio-temporal maps of gastrointestinal motilityFollowing the analysis of figure 6, several parameters of contraction can now be derived from the ST-map such as the frequency of contraction, the distance between one contraction and the next (= wavelength), the width of the contraction, the aboral propagation velocity and the sequence velocity. The sequence velocity is negative as the contractions step backwards in the oral direction.Back to article page
