Segmentation is the back and forth movement of chyme in the small intestine to mix it with digestive juices and facilitate absorption. Therefore, the best location to record it would be in the small intestine as chyme moves past the pyloric sphincter. Recording the esophagus during swallowing or the stomach during digestion of a meal would not show segmentation, and recording the large intestine during fecal compaction would show a different process.
