Sir, We thank Professor Strupp and colleagues for the pertinent points they raise in relation to our recent publication in Brain (Imbrici et al., 2004). They highlight important issues in relation to treatment options in episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) and absence epilepsy. Furthermore, their recent findings in combination with ours highlight the possible role of CaV2.1 dysfunction in human absenc...

Sources searched to identify primary studies The base-case monthly migraine frequency, the probabilities of response (>= 75%, 50 75% and <50% reduction in migraine frequency) and the treatment discontinuation rate were derived from pooled data from three randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) of TPM (Brandes et al. 2004, Diener et al. 2004 and Silberstein et al. 2004, see ...

The problem of object tracking has been subject to numerous studies and has gained a considerable interest (Aghajan & Cavallaro (2009); Gandhi & Trivedi (2007)) in the light of surveillance (Hu et al. (2004); Loza et al. (2009)), pedestrian protection systems (Gerónimo et al. (2010); Smith & Singh (2006); Forsyth et al. (2006)), vehicular traffic management, human vision systems (Chen & Yang (2...

Since the 1980’s, computational applications based on virtual reality (VR) aimed at treating mental disorders and rehabilitating individuals with cognitive or motor disabilities have been around. They started off by focusing on simple phobias like acrophobia (Emmelkamp et al., 2002) and agoraphobia (Botella et al., 2004), fear of flying (Rothbaum, Hodges, Smith, Lee & Price, 2000), and evolved ...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have gained worldwide attention in recent years, particularly with the proliferation of Micro‐Electro‐Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology which has facilitated the development of smart sensors. Smart sensors are small devices composed of one or more sensors, a memory, a processor, a power supply and a radio unit. They can sense the environment, measure and send ...
