Practical Biomedical Signal Analysis Using MATLAB
Preface
This book is intended to provide guidance for all those working in the field of
biomedical signal analysis and application, in particular graduate students, researchers
at the early stages of their careers, industrial researchers, and people interested
in the development of the methods of signal processing. The book is different
from other monographs, which are usually collections of papers written by several
authors. We tried to present a coherent view on different methods of signal processing
in the context of their application. Not only do we wish to present the current
techniques of biomedical signal processing, we also wish to provide a guidance for
which methods are appropriate for the given task and given kind of data.
One of the motivations for writing this book was our longstanding experience in
reviewing manuscripts submitted to journals and to conference proceedings, which
showed how often methods of signal processing are misused. Quite often, methods,
which are sophisticated but at the same time non-robust and prone to systematic
errors, are applied to tasks where simpler methods would work better. In this book
we aim to show the advantages and disadvantages of different methods in the context
of their applications.
In the first part of the book we describe the methods of signal analysis, including
the most advanced and newest methods, in an easy and accessible way. We omitted
proofs of the theorems, sending the reader to the more specialized mathematical
literature when necessary. In order to make the book a practical tool we refer to
