About the book

This is the first position in a very long time devoted to bionics - science dealing with the use of biological processes in technology, in particular in the automatic control, and building technical devices on the model of living organisms.
The authors focused on selected aspects of bionics. They presented mathematical methods for modeling biological signals (of electrical nature), biological objects (cells, tissues) and functions of complex biological structures (organs, systems), treated as appropriate control and information systems. At the end of each chapter, they put together a set of questions that allow the reader to check the acquired knowledge.
We recommend this book to students of biocybernetics, biomedical engineering and biotechnology as well as automation and robotics. It will also be useful for people involved in biomedical engineering, recruiters from both the world of technology and the world of medicine.
