The automated interference pattern analysis for limb muscles was modified to take into account the unique features of the needle EMG of the diaphragm. The modification was successful in recording more accurately the number of small and large segments and the activity levels with inspiratory effort. “Clouds” were generated in ten healthy subjects. The techniques may prove useful in electrophysiological investigations. © 1997 John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
