Learning outcomes

After completing the course students can recognize the importance of modelling as a tool to study physiological systems and measurement systems. Students can explain different modelling methods and procedures, as well as how different models can be constructed and used. They can practice some modelling methods and tools in studying physiological systems.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. Modelling of physiological systems compared to pure "engineering" problems. Model classes and types for physiological systems. Model-analog, descriptive-predictive, empirical-mathematical. How to build models of physiological systems.     
2. Finite element modelling (FEM) in modelling 3D physiological systems: basic principles, techniques and applications. FEM, DFM, BEM.     
3. Modelling biological and physiological processes by cellular automata.     
4. Forward and inverse problems. Use of models of physiological systems for forward and inverse solutions, a priori information, data, and model
