BMEn 5-5101 Advanced Bioelectricity and Instrumentation (3 credits) The goals of this course are to develop an understanding of the instrumentation requirements for the measurement of body potentials, to interpret the physiological meaning of the signals, and to understand the uses of the static and dynamic tissue electrical impedance characteristics to obtain physiological measurements. The focus will be on the measurements that are used in or have potential to be used in clinical medicine (1989-2007).
