Computational intelligence in biomedical engineering.9780849340802 Computational intelligence in biomedical engineering Biomedical engineering An interdisciplinary field in which the principles, laws, and techniques of engineering, physics, chemistry, and other physical sciences are applied to facilitate progress in medicine, biology, and other life sciences. . Begg, Rezaul et al. CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Checking) An error checking technique used to ensure the accuracy of transmitting digital data. The transmitted messages are divided into predetermined lengths which, used as dividends, are divided by a fixed divisor. / Taylor & Francis 2008 366 pages $129.95 Hardcover R859 In this field-specific reference, the authors focus on the use of computational intelligence (CI) techniques in biomedical bi·o·med·i·cal adj. 1. Of or relating to biomedicine. 2. Of, relating to, or involving biological, medical, and physical sciences. applications. The volume illustrates how CI techniques can offer solutions in modeling, relationship pattern recognition, clustering, and other problems specific to biomedical engineering. Begg (biomechanics, Victoria U.), Lai (research, U. of Melbourne), Palaniswami (research, U. of Melbourne) present a case for CI as a solution to the rapidly increasing need for automated diagnostic systems capable of processing large amounts of data. This volume offers detailed examinations and explanations of biomedical signal processing, CI techniques and techniques specific to cardiology and heart disease diagnosis, electromyography electromyography Process of graphically recording the electrical activity of muscle, which normally generates an electric current only when contracting or when its nerve is stimulated. and electroencephalogram electroencephalogram /elec·tro·en·ceph·a·lo·gram/ (EEG) (-en-sef´ah-lo-gram?) a recording of the potentials on the skull generated by currents emanating spontaneously from nerve cells in the brain, with fluctuations in potential seen as analysis, future trends, and other related topics. This volume would be of value to researchers, professionals, academics, and graduate students from a wide variety of disciplines looking for applications in health care.
