BME 595 - Biomedical Signal Processing Fall Course

July 17, 2017

The course will cover practical problems in biomedical signal processing, along with the necessary theoretical background. Students may use MATLAB or Python (their choice) for the exercises and projects. Although the signal processing concepts will be discussed generally, the examples used will prominently feature brain signals and neural engineering applications. A detailed syllabus, along with a tentative schedule is attached. I am happy to provide any clarifications or further information via e-mail: hbharadwaj@purdue.edu
