The design and construction of electronic circuits to solve practical problems is an essential technique in the fields of electronic engineering and computer engineering.
The bio-electrical potentials are currently recorded as a routine in several specialities of the modern clinical practice.
Such potentials are the result of an electrochemical activity of a class of cells, named excitable cells, that form the nervous, muscular and glandular tissues.
The measurement of the bioelectrical phenomena is, therefore, used to learn the electrochemical activity of such tissues.
The most widely used bioelectrical signals, such as the electrocardiogram, the electroencephalogram and the electromiogram, have a very low amplitude and are generated by sources that have a high internal impedance.
In this course we will study first of all the general specifications of the systems for the measurement of bioelectrical signals and subsequently the characteristics of some special systems.
This course comprises a further instrument, the ECG SIMULATOR, which is mandatory to provide power supply to the circuit and provides a simulated ECG signal for performing experimental activity.
