This book contains an interesting and state-of the art collection of chapters presenting
several examples of attempts to developing modern tools utilizing computational intelligence in
different real life problems encountered by humans. Reasoning prediction modeling
optimization decision making etc. need modern soft and intelligent algorithms methods and
methodologies to solve in the efficient ways problems appearing in human activity. The
contents of the book is divided into two parts. Part I consisting of four chapters is devoted
to selected links of computational intelligence medicine health care and biomechanics.
Several problems are considered: estimation of healthcare system reliability classification of
ultrasound thyroid images application of fuzzy logic to measure weight status and central
fatness and deriving kinematics directly from video records. Part II also consisting of four
chapters is devoted to selected links of computational intelligence and biology. The common
denominator of three chapters is Physarum polycephalum one-cell organisms able to build
complex networks for solving different computational tasks. One chapter focuses on a novel
device the memristor that has possible uses both in the creation of hardware neural nets for
artificial intelligence and as the connection between a hardware neural net and a living
neuronal cell network in the treatment and monitoring of neurological disease. This book is
intended for a wide audience of readers who are interested in various aspects of computational
intelligence.
