Frames at 5,000 total, 1.0 ms per frame. Cycle from the MAP channel of the DAQ log (median interval) when one exists, else from per-pixel dominant frequency. Boundaries, expectations and the segment design are provisional (admission (project lead); no comparison defined).

Values at the run setting. Red: range across the sensitivity grid (12 baseline × sigma settings, 3 trackers) where the spread exceeds 25 % of the median; not reportable as a value. Beat metrics are not varied over the grid. Dominant frequency over the whole analysed window: 6.500 Hz.

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

Using provisional parameter set version 3 for protocol f65d786f-f194-4be2-88b8-10d3dd25d674, the provisional criteria were applied 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 was 1000.0 Hz from the admitted paper-methods source, and the pixel size was 156.0 µm from the same source. The recording contained 5000 frames of 51 × 51 pixels, and the analysed frames were 500 to 4500. The provisional segment definition was a single whole_recording segment spanning frames 0 to 5000.

physiology_ok: not decided (no cited range passed or failed); send back: True. Verdict: do not report this signature as it stands. Reportable only descriptively is the stable dominant frequency of 6.5 Hz, which has no cited range in the checks; the unstable, not-reportable findings are singularity_frames_frac 0.02725–0.69475, persistent_rotors 0.0–20.0, persistent_rotor_count_max 0.0–3.0, and persistent_rotor_tracks 0.0–20.0. Persistent-rotor threshold variants are not applicable because there are no segment expectations; strict/default/loose trackers found 0/6/20 persistent rotors, so track review is needed even though the tool's rule-verdict agreement flag is true. The frame rate documentation block, rhythm-assumption warning, tissue/chamber metadata conflict, unavailable publication/deposit text, and whole-frame mask should be reviewed before timing-dependent or chamber-specific interpretation. Context for mouse spiral rotation is limited to DOI 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1011660, which reports approximately 20 Hz before illumination and 18.75 Hz during illumination; the ranges, the stability threshold, and the criteria used here are provisional.

Review items

TopicDetailSeverityReviewer
unstable:whole_recording.singularity_frames_fracSensitivity grid range is 0.02725 to 0.69475; unstable metrics are not reportable as single values under the provisional stability rule.warnanalysis
unstable:whole_recording.persistent_rotorsSensitivity/tracker range is 0.0 to 20.0; review phase-singularity detections and tracks before reporting rotor burden.warnanalysis
unstable:whole_recording.persistent_rotor_count_maxSensitivity/tracker range is 0.0 to 3.0; maximum concurrent rotor count is not reportable without review.warnanalysis
unstable:persistent_rotor_tracksTrack count range is 0.0 to 20.0; tracker sensitivity should be reviewed and not interpreted as proof the finding is false.warnanalysis
Frame rate not documentedNo frame rate was documented on the recording row, deposit metadata could not be fetched, publication text fetch failed, and no acquisition log is present; timing-dependent analysis should treat the frame rate as uncertain.blockinspector
Rhythm assumption is provisionalFrame-rate inference assumes mouse spiral rotation using provisional reference rates that have not been domain-scientist reviewed.warninspector
Tissue/chamber metadata conflictThe overview identifies mouse atrium while the file path says mouseventricle06062018 A_Cool SR; chamber-specific interpretation may be misleading until resolved.warninspector
Publication/deposit text unavailableDeposit metadata and linked paper text were unavailable to the tool, so preprocessing documentation, dye identity, and acquisition details could not be verified from text.warninspector
Mask covers entire frameThe mask covers the full frame based only on nonzero temporal standard deviation; non-tissue background could affect whole-frame measurements.infoinspector
Tracker sensitivityStrict/default/loose tracking yielded 0/6/20 persistent rotors in the whole recording; this disagreement in counts requires track review but is not by itself a reason to call the finding false.warnanalysis
