Example of quality control procedure. (A) α-MN spike trains and (B) discharge rates of a α-MN pool before quality control. The algorithm rejects the α-MN with PNR <20 dB. In this case, as the cross-correlation improved by filtering the α-MNs with a coefficient of variation of the inter-spike intervals >0.3, the algorithm removes them as well. (C) Comparison between force (gray line) and the smoothed CST before (blue) and after (red) quality control. For illustrative purposes, the smoothed CST is scaled to the maximum value of the force and shifted to compensate for the neuro-mechanical delay (~0.6 s). Although some spike trains were removed after quality control, the correlation between force and smoothed CST improved. CST, cumulative spike train; pps, pulses per second.
