Nonlinear Biomedical Physics publishes multidisciplinary articles at the crossroads of new nonlinear methods from physics, engineering, and chemistry applied to the life sciences and medical science and practice.
Nonlinear Biomedical Physics is an open access, online journal that publishes high-quality articles about nonlinear systems and processes in biology and medicine. Nonlinear, fast and reliable methods for analyzing noisy and non-stationary signals and images are needed in innovative medical systems for a proper analysis and interpretation of vast amounts of data to support accurate prediction of the onset and progression of major diseases, their diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
The field of nonlinear biomedical physics is multidisciplinary and dynamic. The Editors of Nonlinear Biomedical Physics are committed to publishing articles of outstanding scientific quality that merit the attention and interest of the journal’s broad readership, both medical doctors and biologists, as well as physicists and engineers.
Journal articles cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- better understanding of the physiological origin of complex nonlinear dynamics of living systems
- calculation of quantitative measures of complex spatial and temporal behaviour and classification of different physiological and pathological states through nonlinear analysis of biosignals (EEG, EMG, HRV)
- studies of the feasibility of applying complexity measures as diagnostic tools in Medicine, to characterize changes induced by pathologies, administered drugs, photo-therapy, anaesthesia, etc. by comparing experimentally observed behaviour with mathematical models’ predictions and computer simulations
- collective phenomena, self-organized ordering and synchronisation in biological systems
- bioelectromagnetic phenomena and biomedical devices such as biosensors and pacemakers
- nonlinear, non-Newtonian fluids in the body – respiration, blood circulation, CSF, lymph
Nonlinear methods of contemporary physics are in general much more appropriate to model and analyse living systems than the classical linear methods that have traditionally been used in medicine and biology. New nonlinear techniques developed by physicists for the analysis of spatial and temporal behaviour of complex systems may and should be used by medical doctors and biologists in the study of biomedical data. Nonlinear Biomedical Physics aims to allow both groups to meet and develop new methods and applications.
