Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The goal of the subject signal processing in eHealth is to introduce students with the general methods for the biological signal processing, and specific methods, which are associated with particular kinds of the biological signals. Within the subject, individual domains of the signal processing will be discussed and analyzed: time, frequency and time frequency domain. Consequently, attention will be paid to basic approaches for the filtration and decomposition of the biological signals with the goal of the clinical information extraction. The last part of the subject will deal with basics of the ECG, EEG and EMG processing.
