The purpose of
this laboratory is to introduce you to computer
based data acquisition techniques which are
currently widely used in physiology research
laboratories. The Biological Signals lab is
divided into two main sections.
The first section
(Waveform Acquisition), will address the key
issues which must be considered in order to
properly acquire a particular physiological
signal.
In the second section (EEG), you will
acquire and analyze an actual physiological
signal, the electroencephalogram, which is a recording of the
electrical activity of the brain obtained from electrodes placed on the
scalp.
