Abstract
Given the vast distances between the stars, we can anticipate that any received SETI signal will be exceedingly weak. How can we hope to extract (or even recognize) such signals buried well beneath the natural background noise with which they must compete? This chapter analyzes, compares, and contrasts the two dominant signal detection algorithms used by SETI scientists to recognize extremely weak candidate signals.
