Signal processing and neural computation have, for long, significantly but separately influenced many disciplines. New researches and the fact that highly sophisticated kinds of signal processing and elaborate computations are performed side by side in the brain, however, show that these two fields have much to teach each other as well. This book discusses the cross-fertilization of these two streams and compiles work of leading researchers from both the areas that promote interaction between both the disciplines. This text is primarily meant for the advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of bioinformatics and biomedical engineering. However, having evolved from two different fields, the text is also useful for the senior students of electronics and communication engineering, computer science and engineering, and electrical engineering.
