  1. Duration and difference in duration of various events of the masseter inhibitory reflex. The EMG events correspond to: first silent period (SP1), interposed EMG activity (IA), and the second silent period (SP2) evoked by the conditioning stimulus (S1) and by the test stimulus (S2). Ch1: right masseter and Ch2: left masseter.
