Instrumentation techniques for measuring common physiological signals. Bioelectric and biophysical sensors. Electronic design issues: electrical safety, signal conditioning and protection against noise, digital signal acquisition. Live subject ethical considerations. Laboratory work to include use of data acquisition packages in conjunction with various sensors, as well as design and construction of a full signal acquisition chain, from sensor to RAM. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. Students with credit for ENSC 475 or ENSC 895 under the title "Biomedical Instrumentation" may not take this course for further credit.
