Title:The Gastrointestinal Electrical Mapping Suite (GEMS): Software for
analyzing and visualizing gastrointestinal multi-electrode recordings
Version: 2Date:8 September 2011
Reviewer: porkumaran p karantharaj
Reviewer's report:
Comment:
1. Organization of paper by the author is good.
2. Using the GEMS software representing the result with high resolution mapping
is good
3. The intensity & quality of the following images could be improved - Figure 1,
Figure 2, Figure 4 & Figure 5
4. Algorithms are more theoretical
5. The importance of velocity and amplitude calculation could be explained more
clearly
6. The statistical data could be added and analyzed for the results
7. The download link given in the additional files is not working properly and
author is requested to make the link active and achieve b y every one
Observation:
• No information is found about figure 5
• There is no information of High resolution electrical mapping
• Algorithm are not explained in detail to understand
• Advantage of Clustering algorithm is not mentioned
• There is no clear information from the activation time detection
• This paper represents the Manual to use the software [GEMS] for analysis
• It is somewhat difficult to understand what author like to publish using GEMS
Level of interest: An article of outstanding merit and interest in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
