BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AND INSTRUMENTATION

Course Description

The objective is to develop a fundamental understanding of the principles of biomedical measurement systems used in the fields of molecular biology and biotechnology, cell engineering, tissue engineering, and biomaterials used in medicine. Applications, diagnosis and treatment, biomedical instrumentation administration, security issues, biomedical technology and the biomedical engineer, their present and future. This course covers physiological signals, biomedical sensors, analogue signal amplification and filters, digital acquisition, digital filtering and processing, and an overview of several common medical instrumentation platforms. Digital processing of biological signals, physiology of the heart and electrocardiogram (ECG), blood pressure measurements, physiology of the brain and electroencephalogram (EEG), Electromyography, Electromechanics of biological fluids.
