Biomedic Instrumentation

A comprehensive introduction to major aspects of biomedical instrumentation. Topics include basic concept of medical instrumentation, biopotentials, physiological pressure/flow/respiratory measurement, optical sensing, and clinical applications of all the above. The fundamental mathematics underlying each instrument will be reviewed and an engineering picture of the hardware and software needed to implement each system will be examined.

Neural Engr Merging Engineer W/Neurosci

A multidisciplinary approach combining engineering principles for systems analysis and control, knowledge of biological control mechanisms, and computational properties of biological neural networks in the development of engineering neural networks for control applications. Topics include: equivalent circuit models for biological neurons and networks, non-linear differential equation representations, biological control strategies for rhythmic movements, design and development of controller for robot function, proposal development and presentation.

Musculoskeletal Biomech

This course presents an engineering-based approach to study of the biomechanical design and quantitative function of the human musculoskeletal system. The lectures consist of four parts that examine the constituent materials & structures of the musculoskeletal system and then develops engineering approaches, solutions, and interpretations to static and dynamic human joint loading and movements. Course principles are applied in an end of semester student project.
