Ran in 3 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled, 2 lecture sections. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.

This course develops an understanding of biomedical measurements and signal processing through the examination of a variety of biosignals and applications. Issues related to the instrumentation used to collect biosignals will be discussed. Signal processing techniques will be explored and applied in the context of biomedical signals.

  • Really enjoyed this course. Definitely requires some time, but I have zero regrets having taken it. Passionate prof., and the content is interesting. You collect signals (EMG, ECG, korotkoff sounds, speech, etc.) and process them using signals knowledge. Great extension of SYDE 252 or any signals course that includes some math, but focusses more on practical aspects which was nice. Learned some of the biology, but the major focus was on developing algorithms.
