I started working on membrane noise in 1967 with David Firth in the
Department of Physiology at McGill University. I began writing this
book in the summer of 1975 at Emory University under a grant from
the National Library of Medicine. Part of the writing was also done
at the Marine Biological Laboratory Library in Woods Hole and in
the Library of the Stazione Zoologica in Naples. I wrote this book
because in the intervening years membrane noise became a definable
subdivision of membrane biophysics and seemed to deserve a uniform
treatment in one volume. Not surprisingly, this turned out to be
much more difficult than I had imagined and some areas of the
subject that ought to be included have been left out, either for
reasons of space or because of my own inability to keep up with all
aspects of the field. This book is written for biologists
interested in noise and for physicists and electrical engineers
interested in biology. The first three chapters attempt to bring
both groups to a common point of understanding of electronics and
electrophysiology necessary to the study of noise and impedance in
membranes. These chapters arose out of a course given over a period
of six years to electrical engineers from the Georgia Institute of
Technology and biologists from Emory University School of Medicine.
