This technique offers exciting applications in brain research but since the resulthant signal are very small, on-line computers are used for averaging the signal in order to extract the response from the background activity. An example of the use of this phenomenon is evoked audiometry, in which pulses of pure-tone sound are presented to the subject while the E.E.G. is recorded continuously. The response, if present, is usually small and often undetectable;so it is necessary to present the sound stimulus many times and to average various post-stimulus E.E.G. waveforms(a one-second period after each stimulus is adequate), when any response can be recognized in the averaged signal. Tress with at least some devices while the slower work required with others is going ahead. Again, as we see it, the priority need is to set up such a group with the commitment of seeing to developments in this area and we see this again as a Department of Health responsibility. Since many of the patient concerned are chronically ill or disable the cost of their support in the long term does rend to drain resources from the Health Service, so large sums might be saved. On the other hand, the use of new facilities may require an elaborate servicing programme, since once a patient has become dependent on an electronic or other aid, he may need maintenance service day and night, and he may live at some distance from a town; as a result, costly and difficult servicing problems will exist.In the case of therapeutic service such as the artificial kidney dialysis programme, the hospital service ahs still a lot to gain in experience. It is reported that more than 3000 people a year could be sav one exception, are owned by one industrial group). Of course, there are also established limb-wearers whose legs need replacing at intervals, and the total charge is thus considerably greater than the figure estimated above.Signals, control systems, and compurersin medicine and biologySeveral aspects of medical enfineering effort have emerged recently as major growth areas: communications, and computer emgineering, applied to medicine. Worthwhile applications can already be recognized in medical research, in clinical medicine-at the point of patient care-and in public health medicine.Communication engineering is significant because it deals with the nature, transmission, and processing of signals; many kinds of signal can be found in the fluctuations which occur in the body, and it seemed possible that the methods ofcommunication signal analysis might be usable for investigating and interpreting the meaning of these fluctuations--biological signals as they are called. This has proved nder computer control can be taken at correct tine intervals, whech can be adapted by the machine to suit the observations being made(stable variables can be measured less often, or at least stored less often, than rapidly changing variables). Results can be checked, and if nessary the measuring apparatus can be tested, adjusted, and re-calibrated automatically; satisfactory results can then be stored for subsequent analysis. In this way, one of the primary obstacles to the more extensive use of quantitaitve information in patient care-the difficulty of obtaining reliable, objective data-can be removed, provided that ssuitable peripheral apparatus to work with the computer is employed for signal acquisition.The other major obstacle to the further use of quantitative methods tn routine patient-care is, of course, the need to interpret the resulting signals. This is the point where the second contribution of the conputer could be made. In the past, the unpredictable fluctuations and confle.
