In recent years, there have been remarkable developments in medical electronics and biological engineering, which support
the fields of medicine and biology. This lecture deals with electrical phenomena in the body, methods for measuring biological
micro-signals, collection and analysis of biological information, diagnostic imaging equipment, and therapeutic devices. Engineering
explanations will be the main focus, but medical and physiological explanations will also be included.
The students will be able to acquire knowledge of electronics measurement and treatment techniques in the medical and biological
fields, and to understand the complexity and sophistication of the structure and function of living organisms.
- The students will be able to explain the mechanisms of bioelectrical signal generation and their measurement methods. Corresponds to lesson plans 1-3 D
- The students will be able to explain measurement methods for physical quantities in living organisms. Corresponds to lesson plans 4-5 D
