The glabellar reflex, also known as the "glabellar tap sign", is a primitive reflex elicited by repetitive tapping of the glabella — the smooth part of the forehead above the nose and between the eyebrows. [1]
Myerson's sign or glabellar tap sign is a clinical physical examination finding in which a patient is unable to resist blinking when tapped repetitively on the glabella, the area above the nose and between the eyebrows. It is often referred to as the glabellar reflex.

The false positive rate (FPR) is the proportion of all negatives that still yield positive test outcomes, i.e., the conditional probability of a positive test result given an event that was not present. The false positive rate is equal to the significance level. The specificity of the test is equal to 1 minus the false positive rate.
