signal processing

In this podcast David Donoho talks to us about his work revolutionising MRI scanners.

If you have ever been in an MRI scanner you'll appreciate the work that Donoho is being honoured for with this prestigious prize.

This year's Abel Prize has been awarded to Yves Meyer for the development of an incredibly powerful mathematical tool.

Teaching a machine to understand music is an incredibly difficult task, which uses all the mathematical power of digital signal processing. But teaching a machine to compose music is quite another matter, and the wonderful world of mathematical patterns proves to be a gold mine. Nick Collins talks to Plus about his artificial musician.
Steve Traylen tells Plus about life as a Systems Administrator.
