Laboratórios de Eletrodiagnóstico

The knowledge acquired in the curricular units of Electronics, Signals and Systems and Acquisition and Processing of Biosignals is required.

The course has only laboratory classes in which five practical assignments will be carried out in a group of 2 students.

The practical assignments, based on the laboratory guides provided, are carried out under the close supervision of the lecturers.

Understand the fundamentals of the electrodiagnostic methods included in the program.
Assemble electronic circuits that allow their observation, developing general familiarity with circuits for biossignals detection.
Observe in practice the action of these circuits on human beings, becoming familiar with their application technique.

1. Spectral analysis and filters
2. Implementation of a circuit to obtain the electrooculogram
3. Determination of the impedance of electrodes
4. Implementation of a circuit to determine the bioimpedance
5. Implementation of an electrocardiogram circuit

The course has exclusively continuous assessment that consists of the following components:

A: Four supervised assignments (1 to 4 of the program) to be carried out in a group following a script, evaluated through checkpoints, with a score of 0 to 1 value per assignment.
B: An individual practice test with a score of 0 to 4 points. The test consists of carrying out one of the assignments 1 to 4.
C: A supervised assignment (5 of the program) to be carried out in a group following a script, evaluated through checkpoints, with a score from 0 to 6 values.
D: Two individual practice tests, each with a score of 0 to 3 points. Each test consists of performing one of the stages of assignment 5.

The final grade of the course will be the sum of the grades of the four components.

In carrying out the assignments, only the members of the groups present in class will have a score and there will be no recovery of absences, justified or not.
