RMHR generated by the PM-CPG: phase control. The duration of high HR during Phase 1 PM-CPG pacing (B) and low HR during Phase 2 pacing (C) can be determined by adjusting the threshold at which the PM-CPG detects dEMG signal with respect to baseline noise (A). HR waveforms are 60 s averages with standard error indicated in gray. The color of the waveform in each HR panel corresponds to the matching color of the approximated threshold (dashed lines) in the top panel. The respiratory cycle is divided into thirds as indicated by gray shading and the labels TI, PI, and E2. dEMG, diaphragmatic electromyogram; E2, late expiration; HR, heart rate; PI, post-inspiration; TI, period of inspiration.
