Course Goal / Objective
To introduce students to the signal processing techniques when applied specifically to biomedical signals: ECG, EEG and EMG. To teach methods for extracting Information from these signals and demonstrate practical implementations of signal processing techniques to biomedical signals.
Course Content
Biomedical signals and their origins: Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electroencephalography (EEG), Electromyogram (EMG). Basic signal processing methods: noise suppression, trend removal, power spectrum, partitioned into blocks/windows, time-frequency map, modelling, frequency estimation. ECG analysis: detection of R peaks and computation of heart-rate. EEG analysis: derivations/references, physiologic frequency bands and decomposition of these bands. EMG analysis: detection of bursts, power and frequency estimation, computation of envelope of an EMG signal.
