Complex biological systems capable of effective information processing are often governed by mechanisms operating simultaneously on multiple spatial/temporal scales. The book focuses on multiresolution analysis and modeling multiscale phenomena in systems biology and neuroscience.
Modeling multiscale phenomena in systems biology and neuroscience is a very interdisciplinary task, so the editor of the book invited experts in bio-engineering, chemistry, cardiology, neuroscience, computer science, and applied mathematics, to provide their perspectives. Multiscale analysis is the major integrating theme of the book, as indicated by its title. The subtitle does not call for bridging the scales all the way from genes to behavior, but rather stresses the unifying perspective provided by the concepts referred to in the title. Each chapter provides a window into the current state of the art in the areas of research discussed. The book is thus intended for advanced researchers interested in recent developments in these fields. It is believed that the interdisciplinary perspective adopted here will be beneficial for all the above-mentioned fields. The roads between different sciences, "while often the quickest shortcut to another part of our own science, are not visible from the viewpoint of one science alone."
Dr. Misha (Meyer) Z. Pesenson has held positions in academia, including UCLA and Caltech, since 1990. He is currently Research Scientist at the Computing and Mathematical Sciences Dept., California Institute of Technology. Dr. Pesenson's research focuses on multiscale modeling, nonlinear dynamics, neural networks, and complex information processing.
