1. Time Series Modeling of Neuroscience Data

   By Tohru Ozaki

   Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Interdisciplinary Statistics

   Recent advances in brain science measurement technology have given researchers access to very large-scale time series data such as EEG/MEG data (20 to 100 dimensional) and fMRI (140,000 dimensional) data. To analyze such massive data, efficient computational and statistical methods are required....

2. Comparative Anatomy and Phylogeny of Primate Muscles and Human Evolution

   By Rui Diogo, Bernard A. Wood

   The combined anatomical materials provided in this book point out that modern humans have fewer head, neck, pectoral and upper limb muscles than most other living primates, but are consistent with the proposal that facial and vocal communication and specialized thumb movements have probably played...

4. The Chromosomal Imbalance Theory of Cancer

   The Autocatalyzed Progression of Aneuploidy is Carcinogenesis

   By David Rasnick

   The book deals with the chromosomal imbalance (aneuploidy) theory of cancer. The book explains how gene mutations are not powerful enough to cause cancer, describes how cancer is initiated and why progression takes years to decades, and accounts for the global or macroscopic characteristics that...
