| This thesis considers the problems involved in the analysis of biological signals and suggests that the goal of such analyses should be a unique representation of the biological signal.;To support the proposal hardware implementations and digital computer simulations were carried out investigating certain aspects of the system.;It was found that if a biological signal, which is basically periodic in nature, can be segmented accurately into its fundamental periods, a precise quantitative description of the signal can be achieved.;A proposal is made for a system which attempts to reach this goal by representing characteristic patterns or waveforms in biological signals quantitatively with a set of parameters derived from a Fourier series representation of the patterns. |
