System Theory and Practical Applications of Biomedical SignalsISBN: 978-0-471-23653-5

Description
The chapters are intentionally organized in groups of two chapters, with the first chapter describing a system theory technology, and the second chapter describing an industrial application of this technology. Each theory chapter contains a general overview of a system theory technology, which is intended as background material for the application chapter. Each application chapter contains a history of a highlighted medical instrument, summary of appropriate physiology, discussion of the problem of interest and previous empirical solutions, and review of a solution that utilizes the theory in the previous chapter.
Biomedical and DSP academic researchers pursuing grants and
industry funding will find its real-world approach extremely
valuable. Its in-depth discussion of the theoretical issues will
clarify for medical instrumentation managers how system theory can
compensate for less-than-ideal sensors. With application
MATLAB® exercises and suggestions for system theory
course work included, the text also fills the need for detailed
information for students or practicing engineers interested in
instrument design.

Reviews
"...an excellent contribution to the current literature...well written..." (IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, July/August 2002)
"The approach chosen by Dr. Baura is original and is to be congratulated for its ambitiousness. I would recommend the book to existing biomedical engineering experts working in environment where solving practical problems is the issue...in addition it could be very useful as a class text..."
