Movie 1
An example video of the strike response. The video exemplifies a strike response with a description of the muscle activity in two segments, A4 and A6. The ipsilateral and contralateral sites are marked by buttons on the corners of the video and they turn on when the muscles in that segment site activate during the strike response. The timing of the activity of each button corresponds to its corresponding central spike train (Results section, Central spike trains that represent the average activity patterns in A4 and A6 during a strike response) that represent the average firing patterns of the segments. The video shows the differences in co-activation of muscles on each side of the body and anterior-posterior phase delays.
