Laboratórios de Eletrodiagnóstico

Teaching Methodologies

Nine practical group assignments, based on laboratory guides prepared by the teacher and with close supervision by the teacher.
Group work is subject to continuous collective assessment, complemented by two individual practical tests

Learning Results

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.
