Monitoring during anaesthesia is based on the measurement of physiological signals that are recorded during surgical or other procedures requiring anaesthetic drug administration.

The present chapter aims to fill this gap by introducing the reader to the main concepts related to signal analysis commonly used to measure the response of human physiological systems under anaesthesia.
