Bioelectricity & Electrophysiology and associated signal processing, etc.

The main aim is to examine the electrical and electromagnetic phenomena that occur in biological tissues, and to understand how to measure them.

The heart as a source of electrical phenomena in the body will illustrate general concepts.

Another section of the module may be devoted to an introduction to impedance spectroscopy.

Keywords:
- Bioelectric potential;
- Bioelectric sources and conductors;
- Voltages and currents produced by living cells;
- Electrode interface;
- Electrical measurement of cardiac electrical activity;
- Associated signal processing for pathophysiology.

Plan:

This course on electrical and electromagnetic phenomena in biological tissues covers:
[Chapter #1] Organs: Sources and Fields of Electrical Potentials;
[Chapter #2] The Body: Volume Conductor;
[Chapter #3] Electrodes: Measuring Biopotentials;
[Chapter #4] Signal Processing for Analysis of Heart Electrical Activity.
