Conclusion.Advances in electronics have revolutionized diagnostic tools and created mobile medicine, touch-sensitive prosthetics, remote surgery, and artificial organs such as hearts, retinas, and bionic skins. This reference text shows the number of ways in which electronic engineering feeds into neuromedicine namely: the modelling and simulation of the brain, providing access to the brain, analysis of the signals and activities of the brain and influencing the function of the brain for therapeutic purposes. The areas of electronic engineering considered are electronic circuits, spectral analysis, filtering of signals, electromagnetic fields and wave propagation. The book is a valuable source to medical students and practitioners as well as electronic engineering and physics students and graduates.Electronic engineers/science graduates/medical professionals.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Professor Hussein Baher received his PhD in Electronic Engineering from University College Dublin, Ireland specializing in the research areas of Circuit Theory, Microwave Engineering, Microelectronics and Signal Processing. He occupied Faculty positions at the Technological University of Dublin, University College Dublin, the Professorship of Electronic Engineering at Dublin City University, Virginia Tech (USA), the Prestigious Analog Devices Chair of Microelectronics in Massachusetts (USA) as well as being a Visiting Professor at the Technical University of Vienna, Austria.Title from PDF title page (viewed on February 1, 2023).
