Fig. 5. Electromyographic (EMG) profiles for a typical S-start and C-start of the muskellunge. The top three panels show EMG activity on the ipsilateral side, the side of the body towards which the head moves in stage 1, and the lower three panels show contralateral EMG activity. The vertical gray lines positioned at the initiation of EMG activity provide a reference for visualizing the alignment of the activity among electrode sites.
