TechTool review of Cranial Nerve iExam by Sylian on iOS
Website: – iTunes - Website
Cranial Nerve iExamination was designed by two medical students at Monash University. It takes you through completing a cranial nerve assessment and helps interpret the findings.
Design and User Interface
What I like about this app is that the developers have made an effort to do something new and different. They could have just listed points. For examples, for CN V motor: clench jaw; raise eyebrows; screw up eyes. Instead they have put in pictures of someone actually doing these tasks. These design elements make t...

Inattentional blindness, unintentional consequences
We are all at risk of missing the giant man in the gorilla suit every day in ED.
The Invisible Gorilla study is a classic – watch the video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGQmdoK_ZfY
The viewer is asked to count the number of times the people in white shirts pass the ball to each other. At some point in the video a man in a giant gorilla suit walks slowly into the middle of the screen, beats his chest and then wanders off. 50% of people didn’t even notice him because they were so focused on counting the passes (that’s not to mention the other deliberate mistakes in the video).
