Biosignals and Systems

Catalog description

This course covers signal representations in the time domain and frequency domain, Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms, Z-transforms, linear systems, transfer functions, system response in time and frequency, analog and digital processing of signals. Relating signal properties to physical parameters. Signals with bioelectric origin are given special attention and their properties and clinical significance are reviewed. In many cases, the methods used for processing and analyzing biomedical signals are derived from a modeling perspective based on statistical signal descriptions. The purpose of the signal processing methods ranges from reduction of noise and artifacts to extraction of clinically significant features. The course gives each participant the opportunity to study the performance of a method on real, biomedical signals.
