Course Objective

There are a lot of electrical signals that can be obtained from within the human body such as ECG, EEG, EMG, and others. The efficient acquisition of these signals requires knowledge on both the nature of these signals and electronics. This course will first describe the basic bioinstrumentation system and then each part of it in detail such as the electrodes, preamplifier, isolation amplifier, surge protection circuitry, noise/EMI reduction techniques and electrical safety. Then it will focus on different devices and systems used in medical settings.
