Summary
Evoked muscle potentials during a localizing response for a wave center occur inAplocheilus lineatus 30±1.5 msec (\(\bar X \pm SE\)) earlier than the simultaneously monitored body movements. Considering this time, only the first 8–10 wave cycles of a total wave signal are utilized to identify and localize a wave source.
