Summary
Methods are described for analyzing the dynamic responses of temperature-sensitive neurones or receptors using a computer facility. The methods allow correlation of impulse frequency with temperature changes or with the rate of temperature changes independent of the time course of the temperature change. Different types of dynamic responses and different thermal sensitivities could be distinguished.
