Abstract
This paper, the first in a two-part series focused on measuring cutaneous reflexes during human walking, provides a detailed step-by-step methodology for reliably eliciting cutaneous reflexes during human treadmill walking. The procedure addresses the technical challenges of eliciting reflexes from cutaneous nerves in a consistent and reproducible manner throughout the gait cycle. Building on approaches used in previous studies, we integrate practical guidance on equipment setup, electrode placement, configuration of a foot-sensitive resistor for quantifying gait cycle parameters, and reflex measurements to enable successful implementation across laboratories with varying levels of expertise. The custom development and use of a pseudorandomized stimulation approach is a novel feature of our broader methodology and is described in detail in the second paper. The present protocol focuses on the experimental setup required to obtain high-quality reflex measurements during walking, thereby providing the basis for advanced stimulation paradigms in human sensorimotor research. © 2025 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
