COURSE DEFINITIONThis course introduces advanced techniques of biosignal analysis. Various estimation, detection and filtering methods are descibed and demonstrated on biomedical signals. The methods include harmonic analysis, autoregressive model, Wiener and Matched filters, linear discriminants, and independent components. All methods will be applied on biosignals such as ECG, EEG, EMG, PCG.
