The equation of the midline of periodic function is the average of the maximum and minimum values of the function. Figure-1 shows y = sin x and Figure-2 shows y = sin x + 1. The second curve is the first curve shifted vertically up by one unit.
Midline shift. Midline shift is a shift of the brain past its center line. The sign may be evident on neuroimaging such as CT scanning. The sign is considered ominous because it is commonly associated with a distortion of the brain stem that can cause serious dysfunction evidenced by abnormal posturing and failure of the pupils to constrict in response to light. Midline shift is often associated with high intracranial pressure, which can be deadly. In fact, midline shift is a measure of ICP; presence of the fo
