ARTICLE

AN APPLICATION OF AUTOCORRELATION METHODS TO THE INTERPRETATION OF INTESTINAL MOTILITY RECORDS

Melvin D. Small 1, John W. Brean 1, and John T. Farrar 1

1 From the Evans Memorial, Massachusetts Memorial Hospitals, the Department of Medicine, Boston, and the Department of Electrical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge

The application of statistical communication techniques to the analysis of intestinal motility records has made available certain information that has heretofore been obscure. This information is:

1. A measure of total activity expressed in square millimeters of Hg.

2. The frequency and amplitude of segmental activity.

3. A measure of the random variations in the amplitude of the "segmental" waves.

4. A measure of random activity and the range and relative amplitudes of the frequencies making up this component.
