Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After this course the student can

1. recognise the main properties of a biosignal processing problem and assess what are appropriate techniques to use

2. explain the underlying principles of these signal processing techniques

3. design components of a full signal processing and interpretation chain for a real-life biomedical problem

4. select and use the right methods to assess the usefulness/performance of this processing chain

5. understand and discuss the clinical / healthcare requirements for biosignal processing applications.
