The focus of our series is to introduce current and emerging technologies to biomedical and electrical engineering practitioners, researchers, and students. This series seeks to foster interdisciplinary biomedical engineering education to satisfy the needs of the industrial and academic areas. This requires an innovative approach that overcomes the difficulties associated with the traditional textbook and edited collections.
