This course develops an understanding of biomedical measurements through the examination of electromyographic (EMG), electroencephalographic (EEG), and electrocardiographic (ECG) signals. Measurement of human-body position, force, and pressure, and related instrumentation will also be presented. Signal processing techniques will be discussed in the context of extraction and application of useful biomedical signals.

  • This course did not teach what I thought it would. I learned more about how specific sampled-data signal filters work than I did about the operation of biomedical devices used to interpret these signals.
