✦ Synopsis
presented at a meeting of the German Society for Experimental Medicine in Leipzig 1970. It reflects the intensive research work going on in GDR for the application of modern theory of measurement and control to the field of Medicine. The applications range from general cybernetic view points on the patient-physician system to more specific papers on computer diagnosis of clinical EEG recordings and brain tumours. Four papers are devoted to problems connected to the recording of physiological signals in patient monitoring and various ergonometric and sport physiological investigations. Readers interested in the analysis of electrocardiograms can find two short papers on this subject and the use of analogue computers for the investigation of a cardio-circulatory assist device and for the simulation of liver response in rats due to irradiation, is also reported. In short,
