Transduction

Transduction has different meanings in different fields:
* Transduction (biophysics) is the conveyance of energy from a donor electron to a receptor receptor electron, during which the class of energy changes
* Transduction (cybernetics) is a process or mechanism that converts signals from one form to another, notably in the Viable System Model
* Transduction (engineering) is a process that converts one type of energy to another. A device that does this is a transducer
* Transduction (genetics) is the transfer of viral, bacterial, or both bacterial and viral DNA from one cell to another using a bacteriophage vector
* Transduction (machine learning) is directly drawing conclusions about new data from previous data, without constructing a model
* Transduction (physiology) is transportation of stimuli to the nervous system
* Transduction (psychology) is reasoning from specific cases to general cases, typically employed by children during their development
* Transduction (semiotics) is the translation from a sign or concept from one field of knowledge to a different one, involving a transformation that keeps an original connection in its phenomenological deepest level

* Signal transduction is any process by which a biological cell converts one kind of signal or stimulus into another
