Course syllabus
1. Introduction
Basic concepts and history of calculating machines
Algorithms
Differences between computer and brain
Elements of neural networks; artificial intelligence
Binary code, transformation rules from decimal to binary notation
2 - Hardware
Computer hardware structure; CPU
Central memory
Magnetic and optical mass memories; USB sticks;
Input and output devices (keyboard, monitor, mouse, printers)
3 - Software
Programs; operating systems; Application SW
The course aims to provide the conceptual tools for proper management (detection and analysis) of biosignals, with particular attention to those associated with brain activity. For completeness, references will also be made to other biosignals (primarily electromyographic, cardiac and ocular). The specificities associated with spatial and temporal sampling are highlighted for each type of biosignal. The main analysis tools of biosignals are discussed both in the time domain (for example, quadratic mean and correlogram) and in the frequency domain (for example, spectral analysis with Fourier transform). As part of the analysis in the time domain, particular attention is also paid to the concept of synchronous average and the related calculation algorithm. The effects of signal truncation and sampling
itself in the time domain are deepened as part of the analysis in the frequency domain.
