Biolelectric signals laboratory 1100-2BN28
The aim of the Laboratory is to familiarize the student with the methods of registration of biolelectric signals form the human body. Measuring apparatus, parameters and experimental techniques are introduced. Sources of error and methods of their elimination are also presented. The specific topics concerned are as follows:
1. The general features of biolelectric signals. Measuring apparatus for biolelectric signals, including:
a) the electrodes and chemical interactions at the skin - electrode junction
b) elementary electronics of EEG amplifiers
c) the sources of measurement error
d) safety issues.
2. Registration and analysis of ECG signals.
3. Registration and analysis of EMG signals.
4. Registration and analysis of electrooculogram (EOG) signals.
5. Registration and analysis of Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) signals.
6. Recording of brain electrical activity (EEG).
