Abstract

This chapter introduces the concept of bioelectricity and biomechanics. The descriptions of several specific biosensors are also included in this chapter. The main aim of this chapter is to provide an interdisciplinary work related to measurement, analysis, and classification of biomedical signals using signal processing techniques for clinical diagnosis purpose. Some applications for the diagnosis of various diseases are also included in this chapter.

If it weren’t for electricity, we’d all be watching television by candlelight.
