How does SETI search for intelligent life?What is radio SETI?SETI is becoming a complicated business as our capabilities to search increase, but the payoff increases. Dr. Claudio Maccone has worked on a mathematical way to look at those signals, perhaps far more efficiently than anything used before. It’s called the KLT, and may well lead us to the detection of a signal from an alien civilization.Dr. Claudio Maccone books (sponsored links):Mathematical SETI: Statistics, Signal Processing, Space
