      Computational and Network Modeling of Neuroimaging Data provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the many diverse modeling approaches that have been fruitfully applied to neuroimaging data. As neuroimaging is witnessing a massive increase in the quality and quantity of data being acquired, this book gives an accessible foundation to the field of computational neuroimaging, suitable for graduate students, academic researchers, and industry practitioners who are interested in adopting or applying model-based approaches in neuroimaging.It is widely recognized that effective interpretation and extraction of information from complex data requires quantitative modeling. However, modeling the brain comes in many diverse forms, with different research communities tackling different brain systems, different spatial and temporal scales, and different aspects of brain structure and function. This book takes a critical step towards synthesizing and integrating across different modeling approaches.

      Artificial intelligence in healthcare has become one of the best assisting techniques for clinicians in proper diagnosis and surgery. In biomedical applications, artificial intelligence algorithms are explored for bio-signals, such as electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG), electrooculogram (EOG), electromyogram (EMG), electroencephalogram (EEG), blood pressure, heart rate, and nerve conduction, and for bio-imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT), cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Advancements in artificial intelligence and big data have increased the development of innovative medical devices in healthcare applications. Advances in Artificial Intelligence: Biomedical Engineering Applications in Signals and Imaging provides an overview of arti­ficial intelligence in biomedical applications, including both bio-signals and bio-imaging modalities. The chapters contain a mathematical formulation of algorithms and their applications in the biomedical ­ eld, including case studies. Biomedical engineers, advanced students, and researchers can use this book to apply their knowledge in artificial intelligence-based processes to biological signals, implement mathematical models and advanced algorithms, and develop AI-based medical devices.
