Module code: MHT7014-B
This module aims to engender specialist knowledge and understanding of clinical signals measurements and analysis both in theory and in practice. It also aims to develop mathematical and software skills in relation to clinical signals and an understanding of the body as an electrical machine.
The body as an electrical machine. The physiological origin of electrical activity.
Electromyography (EMG). Electrical activity in the musculo-skeletal system. EMG Laboratory. The electrocardiogram (ECG). Electrical activity of the heart. ECG Laboratory. ECG as an inverse Thompson problem. The electroencephalogram (EEG). Electrical activity in the brain. EEG Laboratory. Temperature measurement. Electrical measurement techniques. Clinical data as non-linear time series. Case study: separation of maternal and foetal ECG.
