Electroencephalogram jerk‐locked back‐averaging. A total of 52 myoclonia were collected in a bipolar electromyogram from right tibialis anterior (rTA) during voluntary contraction of the right quadriceps femori (rQF). The electromyogram traces were first filtered (high‐pass filter, 23 Hz; low‐pass filter, 300 Hz) and then rectified. Myoclonia were marked at the onset. The 4‐second electroencephalogram and electromyogram epochs (mark ± 2 seconds) were selected. Averaging of the 52 jerks did not show any electroencephalogram correlates.
