Student feedback on the laboratorieshas been phenomenal, with the hands-on experiences motivating thestudents in a way that no lecture-only course can.” — IEEE Engineeringin Medicine and Biology, July/August 2003 (Vol. 22, No. 4, pg. 106)Signal Analysis & ProcessingThe BSL software has an extensive library of signal processing functionspermitting graphical insight to analytical methods. The software candemonstrate the procedure and consequencesassociated with simple to complex signalprocessing methodologies. For example,students can view data before and after IIR orFIR filter processing, build a complex waveformfrom periodic signals (i.e., create a square wavefrom multiple sine waves) and decompose theBME Squareresult, or apply non-linear processing methodsto data. Use the X/Y display mode to generate Lissajous patterns andinvestigate chaotic phenomena and demonstrate phase relationshipsbetween two variables. Signals can be correlated and convolved. Usethe histogram function to focus on distributionof specific signal measures.FFT of Biopotential filterfrequency responseTransducers & CalibrationThe BSL System employs a wide array oftransducers that transform physical measuresinto electrical signals. The generic input designof the MP36 acquisition unit allows it to interfacea huge variety of third-party or completely unique transducers.Students can use the BSL software to linearize and calibrate transducersand then compare results to expected values. Relate fundamental physicalstandards to more complicated measures. For example, calibrate theAirflow Transducer with a syringe, and then use the Airflow Transducer tocalibrate a respiration sensor designed to monitor thoracic circumference.Human & AnimalPhysiologyThe wide range ofhuman and animalphysiology experimentsprovide a powerful toolfor teaching students FFT dialog and EEG spectrumthe best technique and methodology for making a measurement.
