1. A method for estimating a rate of a repetitive event in a living subject, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) noninvasively detecting a first occurrence of repetitive event in a living subject using light, said first occurrence detected using light being at least in part backscattered from or transmitted through the subject;

    (b) noninvasively detecting a second occurrence of a repetitive event in a living subject using light, said second occurrence detected using light being at least in part backscattered from or transmitted through the subject; and

    ,(c) generating an output that is a function of an estimated rate of said repetitive event, said output based at least in part on an interval of time elapsed between the occurrence of said first and said second occurrences of the repetitive event.
