Learning outcomes

Student can describe the bioelectric sources and conductors of the body and model them with basic equivalent and computational methods. Student can solve simple bioelectromagnetic source-field calculations. Student can describe and compare different theoretical analysis methods of bioelectric volume sources and conductors, and apply theem to the analysis and design of different types of bioelectric measurements. Student can describe and compare different algorithms in solving the bioelectric inverse problem. Student can demonstrate, how different bioelectric phenomena of the body are applied in clinical applications.

Evaluation criteria for the course

The final grade of the course is determined based on the assessment of all part of the course. The weighting factor of each part is given at the beginning of the course. Grades 1-2: Learning outcomes have been achieved. Satisfactory command in core content of the course. Grades 3-4: Some learning outcomes have been exceeded qualitatively or quantitatively. Good command in core content and complementary knowledge of the course. Good or very good marks from all parts of the course. Grade 5: Most of the learning outcomes have been exceeded. Deep command in the whole content of the course. Almost maximum performance in all parts of the course.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course

Partial passing:

Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
