Medical cyberneticsMedical Cybernetics covers an emerging working program for the application of systems- and communications-theory, connectionism and decision theory on biomedical research and health related questions. (Taken, with permission, from [Dietrich 1999-2004])
Major fieldsMedical Systems Theory The scope of medical systems theory is searching for and modelling of physiological dynamics in the intact and diseased organism to gain deeper insights into the organizational principles of life and its perturbations. Medical Information and Communication Theory Motivated by the awareness of information as an essential principle of life the application of communication theory to biomedicine aims to describe signalling processes in different physiological layers mathematically. Connectionistic models describe information processing in neural networks - thus forming a bridge between biological and technological research. Medical Decision Theory The Goal of MDT is to gather evidence based foundations for decision making in the clinical setting. Scientists
