3 credits – A discussion of the fundamental engineering and medical principles of the acquisition, measurement, and processing of physiological signals from living systems, focusing on the human body. Students are introduced to operational amplifiers (op-amps) and their circuit configurations that allow signal processing, conditioning, amplification, and spectral filtering as relevant to biomedical devices. The basics of biosensors (transducers) and bioelectrodes for the measurement of motion, biopotentials, pressure, and temperature are explored in Biomedical Engineering-specific applications like photoplethysmography (PPG), electrocardiography (EKG), electrophoresis, and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). This syllabus has an early easter egg; continue reading to find it. A primer in digital systems, boolean logic, and logic gates is provided to enable the prototyping of clinically relevant solutions.
