# Video System Can Show a Pulse Beating Through Skin

Imagine a technology where a doctor will be able to take your pulse over Skype. That is probably something that even Dr.McCoy from StarTrek would dream of. Researchers at MIT have developed a crazy process called Eulerian Video Magnification that seems like it was pulled straight from a science fiction movie.
