Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. Epilepsy affects around 1% of the global population, with about 20 million patients experiencing uncontrolled seizures despite multiple anti-seizure medications. This work integrates neurosciences, mathematics, computational sciences, engineering, physics, and clinical epileptology to provide a comprehensive knowledge base and research directions. It covers signal analysis, data conditioning, and both linear and non-linear analysis, alongside fundamental anatomical and neurophysiological concepts. The text aims to equip non-physicians with the necessary language to engage meaningfully with epileptologists and introduces physicians to dynamical theory and signal processing, essential for productive interdisciplinary collaboration. It draws parallels between epilepsy and other aperiodic phenomena like earthquakes to build a scientific foundation for epileptology and promote therapeutic advancements. Additionally, it reviews the spatiotemporal behavior of seizures, mechanisms of epileptogenesis and ictogenesis, and highlights nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy as a promising area for seizure prediction. The book emphasizes the need for a deep understanding of dynamical, control, and system theories, bridging the cultural gaps that often hinder multidisciplinary efforts and fostering collaboration in the evolving field of dynamical epileptology.…

Epilepsy, one of the most prevalent neurological disorders, affects approximately 1% (greater than 60 million) of the world's population. In an estimated 20 million of these patients, seizures are not controlled even by multiple anti-seizure drugs, and are extremely difficult to predict. Epilepsy: The Intersection of Neurosciences, Biology, Mathematics, Engineering, and Physics seamlessly brings together the neurosciences, mathematics, computational sciences, engineering, physics, and clinical epileptology to present to readers a highly didactic, integrated, clear and practically useful knowledge base and research directions.
Laying out the foundations of signal analysis, data conditioning, linear and non-linear analysis, introduction to dynamical systems and fundamental anatomical and neurophysiological concepts, this book:
- Introduces non-physicians to language and concepts necessary to establish a meaningful dialog with epileptologists
- Introduces physicians to dynamical theory and signal processing without which interdisciplinary collaborations would not be productive
- Mines knowledge from fields devoted to the investigation of aperiodic paroxysmal relaxation phenomena, such as earthquakes, which bear dynamical similarities with epilepsy, so as to lay the proper scientific foundations for epileptology and foster much needed therapeutic advances efficiently
- Reviews spatiotemporal behavior of seizures, mechanisms of epileptogenesis and ictogenesis as well as of seizure control and ancillary technology
- Calls attention to nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy as a potentially fruitful paradigm for advancing seizure prediction.
Of all neurological disorders, epilepsy demands of investigators the broadest and deepest knowledge of dynamical, control, and system theories, knowledge that cannot be amassed without possessing a certain level of sophistication in relevant areas of neurosciences, physics, mathematics, and engineering. Narrowing the inescapable cultural chasm that commonly fragments multidisciplinary efforts, this book captures and enriches the burgeoning interdisciplinary synergism in the nascent field of dynamical epileptology.

Im klaren Fokus stehen dabei Kundenkomfort und Benutzerfreundlichkeit. Unsere Plattform verspricht Leser*innen eine breite Auswahl sowie einen sicheren Kaufprozess. Von Bestsellern über Klassiker bis hin zu Nischenliteratur bietet wir auch lesefreudigen Österreicher*innen eine wahre Schatzkiste zu fairen Preisen. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Verkaufsplattformen gehen wir einen Schritt weiter, indem wir den gesamten Verkaufs- und Versandprozess übernehmen – angefangen beim professionellen Abfotografieren der Bücher bis hin zur Ermittlung eines fairen Preises sowie der Kommunikation mit potenziellen Käufer*innen. Verkäufer*innen schicken lediglich ihre Buchschätze an uns und warten, bis diese neue Besitzer*innen finden und das Entgelt bei ihnen eintrudelt. Die breitgefächerte Auswahl an Buch-Genres reicht von Klassikern, Bestsellern über alte Schätze und kultigen Comics bis hin zu Fachpublikationen. Wir bieten hunderttausende Titel aller Genres in vielen Sprachen, meist in perfektem Zustand an. Bei älteren oder beschädigten Büchern finden sich online detaillierte Bilder des Zustands auf unserer Website. Wir sind stolz, bereits 200.000 glückliche Bookbot-Kund*innen an Bord zu haben und bieten damit eine breite Community an vielen potentielle Käufer*innen.
