Product Description
The second volume in the series Clinical Neurophysiology Updates, this book offers a state-of-the-art account of developments in the practical use of small computers for quantitative electromyography (EMG). EMG now plays an important role in clinical neurological diagnosis and motor control studies in humans, and can confirm or exclude clinical diagnoses, indicate the site and type of an abnormality or expose disorders that are clinically uncertain. The practical value of EMG methods has been enhanced by quantitative measures of the recorded potential, something slow and difficult to achieve manually and which can be more effectively secured by computer data processing. Computer data processing also enables the analysis of potentials under adverse conditions. Computer-aided EMG has become an integral part of the daily activities of EMG laboratories, both for diagnosis in clinical neurology, and for the monitoring and research into revalidation, orthopedic surgery, clinical pharmacology, sports medicine and human physiology. This book reflects the leaps in progress recently made in the field of computer-aided EMG and is an excellent reference book and practical handbook. ... Read more

Product Description
This text takes a broad view of the work going on in the development of user interfaces for expert systems and examines the expert system building process both in academic and industrial surroundings. The development of an expert system is viewed as containing three separate, but highly interacting components: knowledge capture, programming and debugging the system, and finally placing the system before an active user community. Some of the issues in each of the three components, the application of general human factors principles in the design of expert systems, the special needs in the design of expert systems, and the efficacy of these interfaces. ...

Product Description
This volume presents concise and comprehensive coverage of the principles and concepts that are fundamental to the design of expert systems software and hardware and the development of knowledge-based systems. The volume includes an overview of the symbolic and object-oriented programming languages used to create knowledge representation languages structures, a description of declarative and procedural knowledge representation schemes, a discussion of search algorithms and various numerical and non-numericla techniques for dealing with uncertainty, and an introduction to reasoning with one or more inference engines. The book also provides an overview of the architecrure and functions of blackboard systems, a review of the state of the art in explanation, and a discussion of user interface requirements and integrated systems. ...
