title: Objective scaling of facial nerve function based on area analysis (OSCAR).
abstract: An objective scaling of facial nerve function based on area analysis (OSCAR) was developed using the variations of luminance produced by changes of facial expression. The presented method of scaling facial motions has the advantage of being continuous, objective, and reproducible. It is fast and simple to use.
