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 <strong>BSL</strong> 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 <strong>BSL</strong> 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 <strong>BSL</strong> 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. Eachexperiment demonstrates fundamental physiological concepts and educatesstudents in the setup, recording and analysis process. Physiologybasics are clearly explained.

Programming OptionsStudents can create their own programs to control the MP36 hardware withthe BHAPI hardware application program interface. Students can also develop their ownanalysis programs to read the BIOPAC file format with the ACKAPI software applicationprogram interface. See page 24 for details.NEWPhysiological Control Systems & Compartmental AnalysisImplement simple experiments illustrating physiological control systems and compartmentalanalysis with the <strong>BSL</strong> System. The students can observe signal changesand then effect a change to observe a particular response.Investigate linear and nonlinear control paradigms.Create simple to intricate feedback loops where studentsperform a specific role in the loop operation. For instance,students can explore Westheimer’s saccadic eye movementmodel which represents the eye as a 2nd order system—then record eye motion via EOG set up, and thencompare the real results to the modeled results to validateor adjust the model.Compartmental Modeling (EOG)BiomechanicsThe Student Lab System has a comprehensive ability to monitor gait and othermechanical responses. The system works with Goniometers, Accelerometers, Heel-ToeStrike transducers and Tri-Axial Accelerometers. Biopotentialsignals such as EMG can be synchronously recorded. Use theHand Dynamometer and Tri-Axial Accelerometer to measureisotonic and isometric performance. Goniometers are availablefor evaluating one or two degrees of freedom from the samejoint (e.g. wrist flexion/extension and radial/ulnar deviations).Use the X/Y display mode to monitor motion resulting fromBME Steptwo degrees of freedom. Model mechanical systems, demonstrateprinciples of biomechanical resonance or inertial navigation (acceleration, velocityand position), or convert gravity vectors (from Tri-Axial Accelerometers) into associated“tilt” angles for use in ergonomic evaluations. See page 16 for details.Instrumentation DesignCircuit simulationThe new signal processing breadboard allows students tobuild and test real-world signal processing circuit modulesand then verify their performance against mathematicalsimulation using graphical comparisons.
