1
Mean με ± standard deviation (number of gages). There were no significant differences between right and left chewing cycles or between right and left side stimulations; thus the sides were averaged.
2
Pig 167 had very high and sometimes paradoxical peak interparietal strains, inflating both the average and standard deviation. These values are calculated without pig 167.
