Report

The PDF carries the parameters as run, segments, metrics, criteria, reportable values, every provisional rule, the review items, the opening frame as camera, voltage and phase with the parameter footer, and the provenance block. The JSON carries the same plus the full stored metrics, sensitivity and critic records.

Methods

For this run, the provisional parameter set and criteria are protocol f65d786f-f194-4be2-88b8-10d3dd25d674 version 3 with baseline_frames = 901, spatial_sigma = 1.0, spatial_truncate = 4.0, pad_frames = 500, rotor_threshold = 0.9, rotor_erode_px = 3, link_px = 4.0, max_gap = 5, min_cycles = 1.0, pair_dist_px = 3.0, paired_frac = 0.5, and render_step = 4. The frame rate is 1000 Hz from the publication, and the pixel size is 133 µm from the publication. The analysed window is frames 500 to 8767. The provisional segment definitions are illuminated_arrhythmia, frames 0 to 3170; illuminated_after_termination, frames 3170 to 4977; and light_off, frames 4977 to 9267.

physiology_ok: not decided (no cited range passed or failed); send back: False. Verdict: report only stable descriptive findings and the provisional qualitative pattern, not unstable single values; physiology_ok is null because no stable ranged metric was available for pass/fail. Reportable items include stable absence of persistent rotors in light_off and illuminated_after_termination, stable maximum concurrent persistent-rotor count of 0 in those segments, stable dominant frequencies of 2.375 Hz in light_off and 2.214 Hz after termination, and a stable illuminated_arrhythmia singularity-frame fraction of 0.47902621722846445 with sensitivity range 0.3816479400749064–0.48801498127340825; the provisional persistent-rotor presence/absence rule holds using both the 52-frame measured-cycle threshold and the 50-frame paper-derived threshold from the 20.0 Hz context in DOI 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1011660. Not reportable as single values are light_off.singularity_frames_frac 0.0029023746701846965–0.02955145118733509, illuminated_arrhythmia.persistent_rotors 4.0–15.0, illuminated_arrhythmia.persistent_rotor_count_max 1.0–2.0, illuminated_arrhythmia.dominant_freq_hz 15.356–19.85 Hz, illuminated_after_termination.singularity_frames_frac 0.0005534034311012728–0.014941892639734366, and persistent_rotor_tracks 4.0–15.0. Needs review: pre-deposit processing/raw-data labeling, the provisional frame-3170 event interpretation, baseline/illumination artifact effects, and all provisional tool thresholds, ranges, stability threshold and criteria; the same-study frequency context is approximately 18.75–20.0 Hz, provisionally checked over 14.0625–25.0 Hz, in DOI 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1011660.

Pre-deposit processing / raw-data labelREADME labels the recording as raw experimental data, but notebook documentation and measurements indicate masking, spatial smoothing, temporal smoothing, and normalization; avoid analyses that assume raw photon counts or independent pixel noise.warndata curator/domain reviewer
Event interpretation at frame 3170Frame 3170 is a baseline_step only; illumination began before frame 0 and ended at frame 4977, so the stored spiral-termination label is provisional and should not be treated as direct light-onset evidence.warndomain reviewer
Baseline and illumination artifactBlue stimulation light crosstalk, re-normalization by stimulation-light signal, slow baseline range, and a baseline step mean analyses using absolute baseline or amplitude must account for illumination/crosstalk/normalization effects.warndomain reviewer
