Bio-Medical Telemetry: Sensing and Transmitting Biological
Information from Animals and Man, Second Edition This second
edition of the classic Mackay text provides scientists with the
necessary tools for studying animal or human subjects without
interfering with normal behavior patterns. It presents engineers,
scientists, and physicians with critical information about the
possibilities and limitations of telemetering methods so that these
may be incorporated intelligently into many fields. With
substantial coverage of transducers and physiological measurements,
Bio-Medical Telemetry gives biologists the necessary
background in electronics to enable them to choose equipment wisely
and to recognize proper performance.
You'll find especially valuable and current information on:
- Ultrasonic radio methods for telemetering
- Satellite tracking
- Underwater methods of tracking
Of great value to the bio-medical engineer as well as any reader curious about the subject, this volume describes the workings of the human nervous system as seen through the eyes of an engineer. With a broad scope and inviting writing style, it provides a fascinating alternative to the unwieldy sources written by life scientists.
