PHYS 395 - Biomedical Instrument & Measur

Institution:

College of Charleston

Subject:

Physics

Description:

The course is a broad overview of the problems associated with biomedical instrumentation and measurement of biosignals. The course introduces basic biomedical measurement techniques and hands-on activities demonstrating how standard biomedical equipment available in our lab is used. Examples of topics include measuring electric skin resistance, recording myograms that trace muscle contractions, electocardiograms (ECG), electroencephalograms (EEG), measuring hemoglobin concentration using functional near-infrared scanners (fNIR), measuring characteristics of ocular motion with eye tracking devices and more. This course and integrated hands-on activities emphasize the effective use of standard, commercially available biomedical devices for basic physiological signal measurements.
