HL2028 Biomedical Signal Processing 6.0 credits

The course is divided according to the different type of signals (ECG, EEG, etc). For each type of signal, methods for analyzing the signal are discussed. In computer laboratory experiments (mandatory) realistic clinical problems are illustrated.

When passed, the student should be able to:

• Describe the origin, properties and suitable models of important biological signals such as ECG, EEG and EMG.
• Determine and successfully apply suitable algorithms for analysis of biomedical signals. Specifically, the student should be able to implement and apply algorithms for
• parametric and non-parametric estimation of a signal's power spectrum density.
• filtering of signals

Course books may change for next term. More information will be sent to registered students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LAB1 - Lab Work, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• NÄR1 - Mandatory Attendance, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

TEN1 – Written Exam, 3 hp, Grading scale A-F

LAB1 – Laboratory assignments, 2 hp

NÄR1 – Mandatory attendance, 1 hp           

To pass the course you have to:

   • Actively take part in 70% of mandatory lectures/exercises

   • If you miss more than 30% of lectures/exercises you should get at least 40% of written exam points to pass!

   • Be active in the field study, and prepare and hold a 30 minute seminar

   • Do individual assignments and give peer feedback to a fellow student
