Publisher's Synopsis
This book discusses signal processing with a specific focus on the respiratory system. It explores using the mathematical tool of signal processing to explain the best and most meaningful analysis of biological signal outputs from the respiratory system. Topics include spectral analysis of sounds, nonlinear analysis of sounds, swallowing sound analysis, lung sounds and application to diagnoses. Each chapter is co-authored by a biomedical engineer and an expert from the medical community, to firmly locate the use of these techniques in a biomedical setting.
