Abstract

Sensing technologies in physiology gain a lot of importance for the assessment of the human functional state. The registered biomedical signals—referred to as biosignals here—are important not only for timeless classical applications concerning medical diagnosis and subsequent therapy, but also for future applications such as daily driver monitoring.
