Aim:
The course gives an in-depth analysis of the origin and processing of bioelectrical signals in humans. The analysis is related to differentiating between healthy and pathological conditions and emerges from clinical situations and issues. After completing the course the students are able to independently:
- Describe, apply and evaluate physical, electrical and mathematical models for the origin of bioelectrical signals in the cell, and their conduction in nerves and in tissue.
- Give an in-depth description of bioelectricity in the heart and in the central and peripheral nervous system.
- Describe and evaluate the most important bioelectrical measurement methods: The ECG, the EEG and the EMG, in relation to normal and pathological condiitions.
- Apply and evaluate different methods for signal processing of the ECG, the EEG and the EMG, with respect to time- and frequency domain analysis.
- Describe, apply and evaluate Fouriertransform based methods for signal processing.
