PHYS 00315 - Instrumentation for Biomedical Sciences

Credits: 3

The design and use of advanced instrumentation are critical in all areas of the biomedical sciences for analysis of biomedical systems and for synthesis of new biomedical technologies. This course will familiarize students with a wide range of the instrumentation they are likely to encounter in a biomedical career. Various instruments will be examined with respect to: (1) theoretical basis of the measurement or synthesis and relation to instrumentational architecture, (2) implementation of the method and experimental design, and (3) data interpretation and analysis. The course will integrate primary scientific literature and discuss the evolution of instrumentation with new technologies and/or applications. The course will include inspection of instruments and observation of experimental execution, providing students with experience over a broad range of modern biomedical instrumentation.
