In an effort to increase signal processing awareness among the general public, the IEEE Signal Processing Society has created a video to answer, in layman’s terms, the simple question: What is signal processing? Check out the video below to see the many ways in which signal processing technologies surround us in our everyday lives, allowing us to interact with ourselves, one another, and the world. Learn how communications and entertainment, security and healthcare, are all made easier, safer, accessible, and possible because of signal processing technologies. Watch the video and share!

IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership of the IEEE.
