ECE 6360 - Bioinstrumentation

Introduction to bioelectrical phenomena taking place in the organism in the context of medical diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy techniques. Low-frequency Maxwell’s equations under quasi-static approximation, electrical properties of biological tissues, electrical potential distribution in tissues. Systems for measuring biologic signals will be discussed including biopotentials. Electrical hazards, safety, measuring instruments, and techniques will be discussed. There will be applications to engineering design including systems and sensing and driving circuits. There are guest lectures from experts in bioelectricity fields.
