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 fixed parameters were 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 recording has 9267 frames in npy format with image size 64 by 55, frame rate 1000 Hz from publication 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1011660 with DAQ consistency, and pixel size 133 µm from the same publication. The analysed window was frames 500 to 8767, with provisional segment definitions and criteria: 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 provisional presence/absence criteria, not unstable scalar values; physiology_ok is indeterminate because the only ranged check, illuminated-arrhythmia dominant frequency, is unstable over 15.356–19.85 Hz rather than reportable as a single value, although DOI 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1011660 provides same-study mouse context of approximately 20 Hz before illumination and approximately 18.75 Hz during illumination, with a 20.0 Hz rotation corresponding to 50 frames. Reportable items include stable absence of persistent rotors in light_off and illuminated_after_termination, stable persistent-rotor presence during illuminated_arrhythmia under the provisional rule, stable illuminated_arrhythmia singularity-frame fraction at 0.47902621722846445, stable light_off dominant frequency at 2.375 Hz, and stable illuminated_after_termination dominant frequency at 2.214 Hz, all with no cited physiology range except the unstable frequency context. Unstable and not reportable as single values are light_off.singularity_frames_frac over 0.0029023746701846965–0.02955145118733509, illuminated_arrhythmia.persistent_rotors over 4.0–15.0, illuminated_arrhythmia.persistent_rotor_count_max over 1.0–2.0, illuminated_arrhythmia.dominant_freq_hz over 15.356–19.85 Hz, illuminated_after_termination.singularity_frames_frac over 0.0005534034311012728–0.014941892639734366, and persistent_rotor_tracks over 4.0–15.0. Needs review: the deposited-data processing/raw label, frame-3170 event interpretation, baseline and illumination artifact, and all provisional tool thresholds; the ranges, the stability threshold, and the criteria are provisional.
