Bioinstrumentation

This course builds upon students' undergraduate knowledge/experience in circuit analysis and biological signal quantification/processing. Using analog and digital filtering/processing techniques, students will analyze real data sets related to cell/tissue imaging, biomedical imaging, force transduction, and electrophysiological recordings (EMG, EKG, and MEA). As a final project, students will be required to design and propose a set of experiments using bioinstrumentation techniques covered in class, with an emphasis on failure modes and effects analysis (hardware) as well as signal processing and proposed statistical analysis.
