The Nightingale Prize 2011 for best MBEC paper in 2010

The first Editor in Chief of Medical & Biological Engi-neering & Computing, MBEC was Alfred Nightingale. In1963, he died at the age of 40 and therefore has not seenmuch of his accomplishments for the journal [16]. He was apromising scientist and pioneer in the field of electromy-ography [12]. In his honor, the Nightingale prize wasestablished in cooperation between the Institute of Physicsand Engineering in Medicine
