Book description
This book grew out of the IEEE-EMBS Summer Schools on Biomedical Signal
Processing, which have been held annually since 2002 to provide the
participants state-of-the-art knowledge on emerging areas in biomedical
engineering. 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.
The book provides an overview of a compelling group of advanced
biomedical signal processing techniques, such as multisource and
multiscale integration of information for physiology and clinical
decision; the impact of advanced methods of signal processing in
cardiology and neurology; the integration of signal processing methods
with a modelling approach; complexity measurement from biomedical
signals; higher order analysis in biomedical signals; advanced methods
of signal and data processing in genomics and proteomics; and
classification and parameter enhancement.
