Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

  • One potential goal of work on understanding biological information processing is to provide insight into the potential treatment of diseases.
  • D: Neurotechnology With the actual scientific results achieved in the Neuro-sciences (Neurocomputing, Neurobiology, Neurology) the possibility to combine technical with biological information processing is coming into reach within the the novel subject of Neurotechnology.
  • Everyone agrees on that understanding this biological information processing is crucial in biological systems, but we still lack a good tool for measuring these biological signals (biomolecules).
  • Perhaps the most direct initiative on biological information processing is currently pursued by those advocating systems biology.
  • While biological information processing is thought to be more distributed (less discrete), an example of molecular switch is presented: visual transduction.
