Study Notes
Biomedical Signals
- Biomedical signals reflect physiological processes and activities, enabling the detection of abnormalities indicative of diseases or disorders.
- Most biomedical signals are electrical in nature, arising from the movement of ions across cell membranes.
- Action potential is the basic component of bioelectrical signals, triggered by electrical currents.
- Resting potential exists when there's no stimulus, with the cell membrane selectively allowing ion movement.
- Depolarization occurs when the cell is excited, altering membrane permeability and allowing Na+ ions to flow in, generating a positive charge within the cell.
- ECG (Electrocardiogram) measures electrical activity of the heart, reflecting depolarization and repolarization of the atria and ventricles.
- EEG (Electroencephalogram) records electrical activity in the brain, measuring different brain wave patterns associated with various mental states like sleep.
- EMG (Electromyogram) measures electrical activity generated by muscle contractions, providing insights into muscle function and disorders.
- ENG (Electroneurogram) measures the conduction velocity of nerve cells, aiding in diagnosis of nerve disorders.
-
Challenges in biomedical signal acquisition and processing:
- Accessibility of variables to measurement (balancing information acquisition with patient safety and comfort).
- Variability of signal sources (influenced by various factors).
- Interactions between physiological systems (influencing signal characteristics).
- Effects of instrumentation on the system (potential for interference).
- Physiological artifacts and interference (e.g., coughing).
- Energy limitations (biomedical signals often have low amplitudes).
- Patient safety considerations.
-
Signal processing aims to manipulate signals for:
- Removing unwanted components.
- Extracting useful information.
- Predicting future signal values.
- Computer-aided diagnosis and therapy.
