Prominent experts in the areas of biomedical signal processing biomedical data treatment medicine signal processing system biology and applied physiology introduce novel techniques and algorithms as well as their clinical or physiological applications.Divided into seven sections Advanced Methods of Biomedical Signal Processing covers:. The peculiarities of biomedical signal processing with respect to more traditional applications of digital signal processing and their classification. An experimental physiologists and cardiologists view of the cardiovascular central and autonomic nervous systems. An important link between biomedical signal processing and physiological modeling. Time frequency time scale and wavelet analysis. Advanced methods employed in complexity measurements. Computational genomics and proteomics. Key methods for signal classification such as neural networks neuro fuzzy and genetic algorithmsThe book provides a compelling overview of techniques such as multisource and multi scale integration of information for physiology and clinical decision; the integration of signal processing methods with a modeling approach; complexity measurement from biomedical signals; higher order analysis in biomedical signals; and classification and parameter enhancement. Various contributions reveal that biomedical signal processing must be viewed in a wider context with key links to the modeling phase of the signal generating mechanisms in order to better comprehend the behavior of the biological system under investigation.Graduate and PhD students in engineering biomedical engineering courses physics and applied mathematics as well as research professionals in medical and biological sciences will highly benefit from this authoritative resource Preface Contributors Part I.
