Objectives
The 'Biosignals and BioImages' course deepens in the understanding of the BioSignals and BioImages initiated on the Introduction course. During this course we will analyze in detail the processes related to detecting, obtaining, recording and analyzing the different BioSignal and BioImages that can be later on used in pre-clinical and clinical applications. We will deepen on the physical and physiological origin of the different signals and images. During this course we will explore different modalities, such as ECG, EEG, MRI, CT or PET among others. We will study the physical devices, tools and methods that enable the acquisition and recording of their signals and images. We will discover the fundamental methods behind signal and image processing to record and analyze the data obtained from BioSignal and BioImages, on 1D, 2D, 3D and even 4D.
