Course Objectives: The goal of this course is to introduce students to the analysis of continuous and sampled signals using classical techniques including Laplace and Fourier, filter design and artifact removal via filtering, event/abnormality detection, modeling of biomedical systems, and pattern classification and diagnostic decision from biomedical signals. The course includes computer-based assignments and a term project using Matlab for such analyses.
