Requirements

Accepted exercise works, final exam and weekly exercises.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Learning outcomes

After completing the course students can describe the active and passive phenomena of bioelectric sources and conductors of the body. Students can solve simple source-field calculations. Students can analyse theoretically the bioelectric forward and inverse problems. Students can apply in practice the analysis methods to study different biolectromagnetic measurements and stimulations.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. Active and passive bioelectric phenomena of the body.     
2. Volume source and volume conductor, and source-field calculations.      
3. Theoretical methods for analyzing source-field relationships (lead vector, image surface, lead field)     
4. Analysis of bioelectromagnetic measurements (ECG, EEG,MEG, potential mapping, bioimpedance)     
5. Analysis bioelectromagnetic stimulations (electrical stimulation, magnetic stimuilation, defibrillation)
