TBMT01 Biomedical Signal Processing, 6 ECTS credits.
/Analys av bioelektriska signaler/

For:   D   I   Ii   IT   TB   Y  

  Area of Education: Medicine

Subject area: Biomedical Engineering

  Advancement level (A-D): C

Aim:
The course gives an in-depth analysis of the origin and processing of physiological signals. In particular, electrophysiological signals generated by the heart as well as the central and peripheral nervous system are studied. Various models for analysis of these signals are presented and discussed. The course also comprise different methods for digital signal processing.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
TSIT64 Signal Theory Y or TSIT65 Signal Theory D, TBME50 Biomedical Engineering, TBME02 Anatomy and Physiology.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
TBMT02 Medical Imaging

Organisation:


Course contents:
Signal analysis: time- and frequency, sampling, digital signals, Fouriertransform (FFT), estimation of the power spectrum, input windows, leakage, aliasing, convolution and correlation properties, z-transform, digital filters
Physiological and mathematical models of bioelectricity: cell membrane, resting- and action potentials, Nernst equation, volume conducting, forward- och inverse problems
Measurement of bioelectrical signals: electrode properties, measurement systems
Electrocardiography: origin of the ECG, ECG-leads, ECG analysis
