PHGY X    Biomedical Signals Lab

Intro:

Electrophysiology is the science and branch of physiology that delves into the flow of ions in biological tissues, the electrical recording techniques which enable the measurement of this flow and their related potential changes.

Clinical applications of extracellular recording include among others, the electroencephalogram (EEG) and the electrocardiogram (ECG). To understand these biomedical signals, it is necessary to understand signal types, properties and statistics.
