The course aims to introduce students to the practical activities typical of an experimental Biomedical Engineering laboratory, promoting the understanding and application of methodologies used for the acquisition and processing of biomedical signals.
During the lectures, fundamental theoretical concepts will be presented to support the execution of hands-on activities, with a particular focus on the use of experimental instrumentation and the development of basic laboratory setups.
Course Contents
• Basic instrumentation in an experimental Biomedical Engineering laboratory: features and usage.
• Sensors and measurement systems for detecting biomedical signals and parameters.
• Data acquisition protocols: from analog signals to digitization and storage.
• Design and setup of a measurement chain for biomedical signal experiments.
• Data acquisition and management software: overview of tools and interfaces.
• Embedded systems for biomedical applications and wearable devices.
• Laboratory activities using typical biomedical engineering instruments and devices.
