ECE5030 covers the theory and practical aspects of recording and analyzing electronic data collected from biological systems. Topics may include electrode and amplifier design, tissue impedance and effects on waveforms, sensors, statistical and signal processing algorithms, noise reduction, and safety considerations. The course is taught by Bruce Land, who is a staff member in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Neurobiology and Behavior.
