This book illustrates the role of randomness and noise in living
organisms. Traditionally, the randomness and noise have been used
in understanding signal processing in communications. This book is
divided into two sections, the first of which introduces readers to
the various types and sources of noise and the constructive role of
noise in non-linear dynamics. It also analyses the importance of
randomness and noise in a variety of science and engineering
applications. In turn, the second section discusses in detail the
functional role of noise in biological processes for example, in
case of brain function at the level of ion channel, synaptic level
and even at cognitive level. These are described in various
chapters. One of the challenging issue finding the neuronal
correlates of various meditative states is to understand how brain
controls various types of noise so as to reach a state
of synchronized oscillatory state of the brain
corresponding to the state of Samadhi. This is described in details
in one chapter called Noise, Coherence and meditation. The concept
of noise and the role of randomness in living organism raise lot of
controversy for last few decades. This is discussed in a separate
chapter. Finally, the epistemic and ontic nature of randomness as
discussed in physical science are investigated in the context of
living organism.
