A Robot Has Just Passed a Classic Self-Awareness Test for the First Time. It thinks, therefore it is. A researcher at Ransselaer Polytechnic Institute in the US has given three Nao robots an updated version of the classic 'wise men puzzle' self-awareness test... and one of them has managed to pass.
Medications used to treat essential tremors include: 1  Beta blockers. 2  Anti-seizure medications. 3  Tranquilizers. Calcium-channel blockers.  Botox injections.
The two first-line treatments for essential tremor are propranolol and primidone. Propranolol is a beta blocker, and this class of medications may provide improvement by blocking spindles in the muscles. Propranolol can be administered in doses of 60 mg/day to 320 mg/day.
