This volume consists of three papers, the first paper by T Ray aims to create an instantiation of evolution by natural selection in the computational medium. This creates a conceptual problem that requires considerable art to solve.

The second paper by K-I Naka and V Bhanot discusses an interesting application of white noise analysis to the retinal physiology. It deals with identification of the retina mathematically, and one can see profound results that can be discovered only by using white noise analysis.

The last paper by T Hida illustrates the use of white noise analysis for biologists. Readers will see the types of topics to which white noise analysis can be applied and how to apply the theory to actual phenomena.
