Syllabus
  • 1. Signals - definitions, characteristics. Genesis and properties of biosignals. General block diagram of biosignal processing and analysis. Basic characteristics of biosignals in time and frequency domain – repetitive and non-repetitive signals, signals coupled with external events. 2. Signals of cardiovascular system. ECG – origin and basic signal parameters of the complete signal as well as its parts in time and frequency domains. Kinds of ECG noise and their characteristics. 3. Algorithms for removing basic kinds of noise – principles of algorithms for filtering baseline drift and AC interference. 4. Algorithms for filtering myopotentials. Data reduction. 5. ECG analysis. Principles of ECG wave detection. Various ECG records (short-time record, long-time record, on-line ECG signal monitoring), requirements for their processing. 6. Fetal ECG signal, properties in time and frequency domain. Methods to separate FECG from the maternal ECG – spatial averaging, correlation approach. Phonocardiogram – basic characteristics in time and frequency domain, relationship between ECG and phonoCG. 7. Heart rate variability – origin and description. Properties of its frequency spectrum in connection to a cardiovascular system control and other information of cardiovascular activity. 8. Signals of electrical brain activity. Spontaneous EEG activity. EEG noise. Characteristics in time and frequency domain. Power spectral density and algorithms to compute it. Diagnostically important characteristics of EEG signals. 9. EEG graphoelements, their characteristics in time domain. Detection and application in diagnostics. Maps of spontaneous electrical activity of brain cells. 10. Evoked potentials.
