Test case of Swine ID 21435. In this unconventional case, the test sequence was applied out of order. Following a baseline reading, the HB reflex was established. The amplitude of the LFAC waveform was then slowly ramped up until block was achieved. The LFAC waveform was then discontinued which resulted in the activation of the HB reflex almost instantly. The left panel shows the unconventional test sequence order. To quantify the percent block (± SD), 4 epochs were isolated, shown on the right panel: Pre, LFAC+Stim, Stim Only, and Post. The ’LFAC+Stim’ epoch had a max amplitude of 1mAp applied at 1 Hz, thus the window of ’LFAC+Stim’ was determined based on the location of the max amplitude
