Abstract A previously proposed method for the interpretation of the signals in sensory nerve fibres is extended to incorporate β activation of muscle spindles. Simulations, based on previous experimental observations, of muscle spondles subjected to ramp and hold stretches are used as input to an “interpreter”, where the simulated trains of action potentials are reconverted to a length change interpretation. The interpreted signals are compared with the original length change inputs to observe the effects of β-stimulation and stochastic variability.
