Requirements
Accepted weekly assignments and exercise work with a written report.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
Learning outcomes
After completing the course students can explain the special features related to the electronics in medical applications, especially biopotential measurement. Students recognize the factors that affect the design of biopotential measurement devices, such as electrode-tissue interface, electrical noise, amplifiers, and patient safety. They can design, construct, and evaluate a biopotential amplifier.
