1. A method comprising:
- receiving a signal corrupted with noise;
decomposing said signal using a wavelet transform;
modifying wavelet coefficients of said wavelet tranform to reject noise;
re-synthesizing said decomposed signal; and
inputting said re-synthesized signal into a neutral network to further filter out the noise from the signal and recover a clean signal.

Abstract
The method and system described herein use a biologically-based signal processing system for noise removal for signal extraction. A wavelet transform may be used in conjunction with a neural network to imitate a biological system. The neural network may be trained using ideal data derived from physical principles or noiseless signals to determine to remove noise from the signal.
