Objectives of the Course The aim of this course is to teach students advanced measurement, data acquisition, digital signal processing, and control applications in biomedical instrumentation systems. Within the scope of the course, students are expected to gain knowledge of data acquisition systems in biomedical devices, digital filtering, analysis of biological signals, patient monitoring systems, basic structures of biomedical imaging devices, feedback, and closed-loop control applications in medical devices. The course also aims to enable students to develop engineering-based solutions for biomedical measurement and control problems and evaluate system performance.
Course Content Advanced applications of biomedical instrumentation systems; data acquisition systems and analog-to-digital conversion; digital processing of biological signals; digital filtering and noise reduction; advanced analysis of ECG, EEG, EMG, and similar signals; patient monitoring systems; basic principles of biomedical imaging devices; use of microprocessors and microcontrollers in biomedical devices; feedback and control structures in medical devices; closed-loop biomedical control systems; control applications in drug infusion pumps, ventilators, prosthetic and rehabilitation systems; reliability, standards, calibration, and system performance evaluation in biomedical devices.
Course Methods and Techniques The course is conducted through lectures, problem solving, examination of biomedical device examples, signal and system analysis, computer-based applications, control system design, and homework/project assignments. MATLAB/Python-based analyses, applications on sample biological signals, block diagram studies, and system performance evaluation studies are used to help students understand biomedical measurement and control systems.
