This course will cover the different biomedical signals and the related signal modeling and analysis techniques. The topics covered in the course include an introduction to various physiological/biomedical signals such as the action potential, the electro-neurogram (ENG), the electromyogram (EMG), the electrocardiogram (ECG), the electroencephalogram (EEG), event-related potentials (ERPs), the electrogastrogram (EGG), the phonocardiogram (PCG), the carotid pulse (CP), signals from catheter-tip sensors, speech and oto-acoustic emission signals. The biomedical signal analysis portion of the course will deal with the analysis of concurrent, coupled and correlated processes, filtering for removal of artifact from biomedical signals, event detection techniques, analysis of wave-shape and waveform complexity associated with biomedical signals, mathematical modeling of biomedical systems, and medical decision support systems. Lect: 3 hrs./Lab: 2 hrs. Prerequisite: ELE 635 or ELE 639 Course Weight: 1.00 Billing Units: 1
