Biomedical Signal Analysis, 3rd Edition, is a comprehensive textbook that introduces senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students to digital signal processing methods for computer-aided diagnosis. Early modules covering basic signals, systems, and mathematical transforms establish foundational principles for learners from non-electrical engineering disciplines.

The volume structures its analytical topics around primary clinical objectives. Chapters detail filtering techniques designed to eliminate unwanted artifacts, background noise, and physiological interference, while presenting event detection procedures for locating QRS complexes, heart sounds, and dicrotic notches. Additional sections present the evaluation of concurrent, coupled, and correlated processes, demonstrating these concepts through sleep apnea monitoring applications.

Each chapter opens with a distinct biomedical signal problem statement, followed by real-world case studies and signal illustrations. Learning tools include end-of-chapter study questions, laboratory exercises, and access to an online repository containing problem solutions and empirical data files.
