Abstract
This research was aimed at modelling the firing patterns of Slowly Adapting (SA) afferents type - I and type - II responding to constant pressure stimuli. We successfully reproduced Inter Spike Interval (ISI) pattern from a curve generated by polynomial regression on a true ISI pattern recorded while exposed to constant pressure level. Furthermore, leading coefficient of the polynomial revealed that the number of spikes were largest for SA type - I when 50mN pressure stimulus was applied, whereas that of SA type - II increased with higher pressure level.
