Biological signal analysis1 encompasses several interdisciplinary topics that deal with analysing signals
generated by various physiological processes in the human body. These signals could be electrical,
chemical or acoustic in origin and an analysis of these signals are often useful in explaining and/or
identifying pathological conditions of the human body. However, these signals in their rawest form
do not provide much information and therefore, the motivation behind biological signal analysis is to
extract (i.e. to reveal) the relevant information. This analysis has become even more important with
modern healthcare striving to provide cost effective point-of care diagnosis and personalised treatment.
Furthermore, fast computing power in recent years has made much of the more complex analysis
