Course: ECE 501/L. Biomedical Measurements and Instrumentation and Laboratory (2/1)
Prerequisite: ECE 350 or ME 384. Corequisite: ECE 501L. An introduction to biomedical measurements, signal acquisition, and instrumentation. The origins of biopotential phenomena (electrocardiograms, electromyograms, and electroencephalograms), measurement with bioelectric electrodes, and instrumentation amplifiers will be covered. In addition, physical measurements (temperature, pressure, and strain), chemical measurements (glucose concentration), and optical measurements (pulse oximeters) will be covered. Corresponding electronic instrumentation for each type of measurement will also be discussed. 2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab per week. The lecture and lab are scheduled back-to-back, and the same grade is given to both the lecture and lab.
