does anyone know how to BLURR the face ??? by window mediaplayer..

[Palvasha2008]

well,it is a good learning strategy but the patient's identitiy should be masked and the patient should be adressed with respect:)

thanks

Fantastic example, but do you not think that the patient deserves some respect and dignity?

If you knew you weren't able to blurr his face you so easily could have shot the video WITHOUT showing his face. Surely how hard can that be?

[lloydsimoesable]

please respect his individuality for allowing you to film him, by not making fun or joking about him. secondly please blur his face if you cant control your remarks while filming.really sad.

Awesome video, first year medical student in the states and they mention it all the time in neuroscience but I was having a difficult time imagining what this looks like. Thank you very much.

Basal ganglion lesions in the perinatal phase are mostly the reason for athethosis, tourette or choreatic dyskinesises. There are also many syndromes (it's what you said Lesch-Nyhan for example) genetic defects that are responsible for those dysfunctionalities.

Also extrapyramidal (non-corticospinal) unfunctionalities can be the reason for those symptoms.

Please forgive my english, it's not so good.

So much better than words, combination of this and choreiform movements can be seen in Lesch-Nyhan. Other than that, I just think basal ganglia lesion for this alone.
