Reflex Examination

  Reflexes can broadly be categorized as deep (tendon) reflexes and superficial reflexes.   Deep (Tendon) Reflexes The deep (tendon) reflexes are monosynaptic stretch reflexes. They are tested through the use of a clinical hammer. Striking the clinical hammer against the tendon of the muscle elicits a sudden stretch impulse which can be observed as […]

Catadioptric Telescopes: A Complete Guide

Catadioptric Telescopes: Introduction While both reflecting and refracting models continued improving over the years, advancements in lens technology outside the field of telescopy led to the development of the catadioptric telescope – a combination of refracting (lenses) and reflecting (mirrors) optics. To provide an example, in 1820, physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel developed the prominent catadioptric lighthouse […]

IRB and Participant Privacy in Human-Centered Computer Vision Research: A Practical Guide for Early Investigators

ABSTRACT Computer vision (CV) studies involving human participants raise unique ethical and regulatory challenges because video and image data are inherently identifiable. For new investigators, navigating Institutional Review Board (IRB) review can feel opaque and intimidating. This guide offers plug-and-play tools such as boilerplate protocol language, checklists, and case exercises, while clarifying the risks most […]

Designing Translational Research Computer Vision That Conforms to Gold-Standard Science and Open Access Mandates

ABSTRACT Computer vision (CV) methods are increasingly central to both preclinical animal studies and human clinical research. These technologies have the potential to generate high-resolution, continuous, and reproducible measures of behavior that can bridge laboratory findings in rodents with diagnostic or therapeutic applications in humans. However, the translational promise of CV can only be realized […]
