Described are methods and structures associated with live cell analysis apparatus. A live cell analysis apparatus may include at least one data processor that is configured to process a sequence of images of live cells to determine motion of one or more live cells. The motion may be in response to applied electrical stimulations. The apparatus and methods may be used to determine a refractory period for cardiomyocytes from the determined motion.
