High jitter values in individual spikes in these multispike signals can be missed with both activation methods, which introduces a bias towards more normal values.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>With voluntary activation, triggering on a spike from an abnormal end-plate in multispike potentials will overestimate individual jitter values and the number of abnormal jitter values.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>With electrical stimulation, artefactually-increased jitter may be caused by subliminal stimulation, which causes uncertainty at the stimulation point. Electrical stimulation also may activate many axons, causing signal summation, with erroneous or impossible jitter estimation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Awareness of such pitfalls can improve the correct performance and interpretation of jitter recordings.
