Fuzzy and Neuro-Fuzzy Systems in Medicine

Horia-Nicolai L Teodorescu, Abraham Kandel, Lakhmi C. Jain

"This volume is a step toward increasing exchanges between fuzzy researchers and the biomedicine…The last chapter, split into two parts, provides a useful summary of hardware requirements for biomedical usage, including issues of reliability, cost, and biocompatibility…[Chapters 3 to 5] will be of interest to the biomedical engineer…or graduate students as a supplement to a text."- IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, May/June 1999
