Introduction to Biomedical Engineering

Full course description

Biomedical engineering is a highly interdisciplinary field at the interface between engineering medicine and biology. In biomedical engineering, principles and methodologies typical of engineering are applied to solve problems from the medical and biological sciences. This course will introduce (some of) the subdisciplines within biomedical engineering. In particular, the course includes an introduction to systems physiology, basic concepts of bioinstrumentation, an introduction to biomedical signal analysis and modeling and biomedical imaging. General issues of each of the subdisciplines will be illustrated together with selected examples and neuroscience applications.
