In the method, a curve comprising information about the arterial blood flow of the animal, in particular a photoplethysmogram, is recorded, and the curve is cut into several curve sections in such a way that each curve section corresponds to a heartbeat. According to another independent aspect, a sensor or a subset of sensors is selected from several sensors of the same kind to perform the examination.
