Synopsis: To accompany the study of the sources of biological signals, this subject deals with the processing of biological signals to obtain diagnostically useful information. Techniques involving linear and non-linear processing, frequency spectra, wavelet analysis, amplitude distributions, correlation and chaos theory will be applied to the analysis of signals including ECG, EEG, EMG, evoked potentials, speech, intracellular and extracellular potential recordings, blood flow, blood pressure and respiratory signals. Extension of these techniques to 2D and 3D images. Use of artificial intelligence systems. Biomedical applications of the TMS320 family of digital signal processors.
