  2. Finger wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_wave

    Finger waves are similar to the marcel wave in appearance and are easily confused. Unlike finger waves, the marcel wave is made with a hot curling iron, and is more permanent than finger waves. [6] Another hairstyle often confused with finger waves is the croquignole method of curling hair used to create a permanent wave. In this method the ...

  3. Hoffmann's reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoffmann's_reflex

    The Hoffmann's reflex test itself involves loosely holding the middle finger and flicking the fingernail downward, allowing the middle finger to flick upward reflexively. A positive response is seen when there is flexion and adduction of the thumb on the same hand. [4] Eg. in hypertonia, the tips of other fingers flex and the thumb flexes and ...

  4. Waving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waving

    The royal wave, also known as a regal wave, pageant wave, parade wave, or Miss America wave, is a similar but distinct kind of hand waving gesture in which a person executes something alternatively described as either a 'plastic grin' with 'fingers cupped' and 'forearm swaying side-to-side' or a "vertical hand with a slight twist from the wrist ...

  5. Photoplethysmogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoplethysmogram

    laser Doppler imaging of pulse waves on the surface of the hand by holographic photoplethysmography from on-axis digital interferometry. Principal component analysis of digital holograms [23] reconstructed from digitized interferograms acquired at rates beyond ~1000 frames per second reveals surface waves on the hand. This method is an ...

  6. Somatosensory evoked potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatosensory_evoked_potential

    SEP tests measure that activity and are a useful, noninvasive means of assessing somatosensory system functioning. By combining SEP recordings at different levels of the somatosensory pathways, it is possible to assess the transmission of the afferent volley from the periphery up to the cortex. SEP components include a series of positive and ...

  7. Brain fingerprinting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_fingerprinting

    Brain fingerprinting (BF) is a lie detection technique which uses brain waves from a electroencephalography (EEG) to determine whether specific information is stored in the subject's cognitive memory. It was invented by Larry Farwell, a Harvard-graduated neuroscientist, and published in 1995. [1]

    The concrete markers also caused more damage than metal posts when struck by cars and presented maintenance problems: "Every two to three years we had to repaint them and re-stencil the street ...

  9. Nerve conduction study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_study

    F-wave study uses supramaximal stimulation of a motor nerve and recording of action potentials from a muscle supplied by the nerve. This is not a reflex , per se, in that the action potential travels from the site of the stimulating electrode in the limb to the spinal cord's ventral horn and back to the limb in the same nerve that was stimulated.
