Â (One of his colleagues is developing gene therapy for depression, and needed a better way to watch the mice to see if it is working.)
An example of using our Eulerian Video Magnification framework for visualizing the human pulse. (a) Four frames from the original video sequence. (b) The same four frames with the subject's pulse …
