The tool has been pilot-tested in 105 elderly hospitalised patients by observing pain behaviours, carrying out pain interventions and re-observing later to verify the effectiveness of the intervention [ 39].
The MetControl software was initially developed to control the operation of remote meteor-observing stations at sites where human intervention was not always possible (Madiedo and Trigo-Rodriguez 2010).
In particular, observing and feeding back the effects of circuit interventions on physiologically relevant timescales is valuable for directly testing whether inferred models of dynamics, connectivity, and causation are accurate in vivo.
Accurately assessing the effect of a clinical intervention is a complex task based on observing patients and their outcomes.
We used one program of exercise and one type of brain stimulation for our multimodal intervention to try to maximize our potential for observing transfer, but it is possible that a different type of exercise program and brain stimulation setup might lead to greater evidence of transfer.
The observing response task was based on previous observing tasks.
We monitored shade avoidance by observing changes in students' use of the unshaded alternative study site in intervention compared with control schools.
Finally, the present findings, especially if supported by future research, also point to the importance of routinely observing patients for negative psychological responses, and, if feasible, instituting appropriate interventions for routine clinical practice.
Turning to the dimension of bodily engagement, a large number of studies describing interventions with a lower level of bodily engagement, such as observing movements (e.g. Brucker et al., 2015) or performing gestures (e.g. de Nooijer et al., 2013), report successful outcomes.
Credibility was increased through the attempt to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the working context by observing ward meetings and each step in the implementation process of the improvement interventions.
