About the Author
Dr. Sid Deutsch received his Doctorate in Electrical Engineering from Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1955. He was one of the early television pioneers, publishing Theory and Design of Television Receivers (McGraw-Hill, 1951, also in Japanese edition). However, he became best known for his work in biomedical engineering, where he undertook research and teaching at Polytechnic University from 1954-72, at Rutgers University Medical School from 1972-79, and then head of the program at Tel Aviv University from 1979-84. He authored or co-authored Models of the Nervous System (John Wiley, 1967, also in Russian edition), Biomedical Instruments: Theory and Design (Academic Press, 1976 and 1992 editions, also Chinese edition), Neuroelectric Systems (New York University Press, 1987), and his most recent book, Understanding the Nervous System: An Engineering Perspective (IEEE Press, 1993), which was co-authored with his daughter, Alice, a Ph.D. in biology. His writing is characterized by lucid models and analogies that bring insights to the non-specialist reader, plus a pinch of humor and lightness on inherently "heavy" topics. Between 1991 and 1996, Dr. Deutsch served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, while also serving as a Visiting Professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa. He currently resides in Sarasota, Florida, where he remains active in writing, editing, and community affairs. Dr. Deutsch is a Fellow of the Society for Information Display and of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
