Abstract

AbstractThis chapter presents the major components of engineering theory in the context of the nervous system. The treatment of engineering theories is included because these are essential aids to thinking about brain function, yet it is difficult to find a suitably elementary account of these theories in a condensed form. The chapter attempts to clarify concepts such as information and computation that have become common currency in discussing the nervous system and have influenced the signal processing methods used to analyze neurobiological signals. These concepts are placed in context to help judge proper and improper usage of the associated techniques.
