MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

This book is a practical guide to the field of biomedical signal processing and pattern recognition. The authors provide a self-contained volume that will address all the main issues – e.g., signal peculiarities, popular algorithms, key application examples, etc. – as well as provide an overview of common traps and mistakes and how to avoid them. The book makes extensive use of pseudo-code and code samples. It discusses available open source toolboxes as well. This book will the non-specilist up to speed with regard to relevant signal processing and pattern recognition. More importantly, it will enable the reader to either program the necessary algorithms or to modify existing open source libraries.

This book fills a gap in several new interdisciplinary areas, such as human-machine interaction, affective computing, and computer games, that have as a common task the processing and analysis of biomedical data. Yet, it is also a valuable tool for students at the intermediate and advanced levels in more traditional biomedical pattern recognition.


Feature:

A self contained text covering topics from basic biomedical signal characteristics to applications

Offers pseudo-code and worked examples enabling the implementation of customised pattern recognition software 
Covers key applications and illustrates real online data and sample code in a popular, user-friendly programming language 
Provides up-to date algorithms relevant to the field and materials on adaptive algorithms and open source toolboxes 
Includes “Tricks and Pitfalls” sections
