Learning objectives
The course is a one semester advanced class in signal processing with specific application to biomedical signals, taught in English. The course will start with a review of digital signal processing fundamentals, to then move to the study of biomedical signals and techniques meant for their analysis. At the end of the course, the students will be able to acquire and process biomedical digital signals while extracting information ready to be use in applications.

Biomedical and Industrial Signal Processing è un corso avanzato di elaborazione numerica dei segnali, con particolare enfasi ai segnali di origine biologica. Il corso è tenuto in inglese e inizia con una review dei concetti fondamentali di digital signal processing (per permettere anche a chi non ha mai frequentato un corso base di DSP di seguire le lezioni), per poi continuare con lo studio dei principali segnali di origine biologica e delle tecniche specifiche per la loro analisi. Alla fine del corso, gli studenti saranno in grado di acquisire ed elaborare segnali di origine biologica, al fine di estrarre caratteristiche da utilizzare in applicazioni pratiche.
