Human body + brain, most complex mechanism ever to<br />
have existed –<br />
10 13 cells, 10 11 neurons in brain.<br />
40000 kilometres of capillaries.<br />
Mostly self-repairing, long-lasting.<br />
E.g. heart lasts for > 2 gigabe<strong>at</strong>s.<br />
Complex signals from physiological measurements.<br />
Challenges: (i) to understand the<br />
underlying processes by analysis of<br />
the signals; and (ii) to exploit this<br />
knowledge.<br />
