*See the 2021 syllabus for the class held on 2021.
In recent years, technologies in which a living body and an artificial system are directly coupled, such as Brain-computer interface (BCI), have been developed. This lecture mainly treats the BCI and its element technologies, namely, neuroscience, bioinstrumentation, signal/information processing and their integration. This lecture also treats modeling biological phenomena and biomimetic information processing. This lecture also treats topics of research ethics and informed consent, which are required for conducting experiments using human subjects, such as informed consent.

The purpose of this course is to learn basics of biology and physiology, measuring biological signals, signal processing,
information processing, system integration, biomimetic technologies, and ethics. Through learning the topics, students acquire
wide view required for developing biomedical systems.
- Can understand a living body, bioinstrumentation, signal/information processing, which are required for bionic engineering, especially for BCI
- Can understand modeling biological phenomena and biomimetic information processing
- Can understanding research ethics required for conducting experiments using human subjects
