It analyzes the neural signals from the brain to obtain insights from the brain patterns using multiple noninvasive wearable sensors. It gives insight into how sensor outcomes are processed through machine-intelligent models to draw inferences. Each chapter starts with the importance, problem statement, and motivation. A description of the proposed methodology is provided, and related works are also presented. Each chapter can be read independently, and therefore, the book is a valuable resource for researchers, health professionals, postgraduate students, postdoc researchers, and academicians in the fields of BCI, prosthesis, computer vision, and mental state estimation, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the allied field.

Elsevier
400 pages
ISBN: 9780443188053
January 2025

Driven to the brink of extinction by the maritime fur trade, sea otter recovery is a remarkable success story, one with broad implications to our understanding of their life history, ecology, and socio-ecology. Sea Otter Conservation II: Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration summarizes current knowledge regarding sea otter recovery and the role it plays in the restoration and resilience of coastal systems. Written by experts in the field, this volume describes the influence of sea otters in kelp, seagrass, salt marsh, and mixed sediment communities, and how their ecological effects can link marine and terrestrial systems. The authors consider the ecological and socio-ecological consequences of the maritime fur trade, the ways in which abundant food and space have affected sea otter recovery, and the potential of future sea otter reintroductions to aid their recovery and that of related ecosystems. This book reviews the latest methods in monitoring sea otter behavior, population status and genetic diversity, and the impact of climate change on sea otters and their associated communities. Sea Otter Conservation II: Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration is an important resource for anyone studying ecology, conservation, or restoration.
