A. Classical DFA computed for spontaneous spinal activity (SSA). In 10 experiments spontaneous CDPs (Cord Dorsum Potentials) recorded from a single spinal segment under initial conditions showed a Hurst exponent value of DFA-Inline graphic = 1.04Inline graphic0.09 (mean Inline graphic sd). The recordings of single segments were among L3 through S1 depending on the experiments protocol. The RInline graphic line averaged was 0.98. See text for details. B. The Hurst exponent values (Inline graphic's) were obtained from mDFA for multiple spinal segments for four lumbar segments in 10 experiments under initial conditions (Inline graphic = 1.01Inline graphic0.06) with a RInline graphic line = 0.98. Following randomization, the same set of data showed mDFA-Inline graphic = 0.49Inline graphic0.01, with an average RInline graphic for line-fitting higher than 0.99.
