DIGITAL PROCESSING OF BIOLOGICAL SIGNALS.

Catalog description

Fundamental techniques for extraction of useful information from signals acquired from biological systems. Topics include time and frequency domain analysis, cross correlation, spectrum analysis, and convolution. Design of finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) filters for processing biological signals are described. Examples include cardiac, respiratory, and biomechanical movements. Preferred background: basic understanding of general physics and differential equations. Prerequisite: Accepted into the BE Professional Program and BE 3317 (or equivalent course) or consent of the BE undergraduate advisor.
