| Aim: To present a mathematical framework for analysing and simulating: bioelectric sources, electromagnetic signal propagation in the human body, measurement techniques, and methods for stimulating nerve and muscle cells |
Contents: At the cellular level: membrane properties (Nernst and Goldman equations), cable equations, action potential models (Hodgkin-Huxley) for nerve, muscle, and cardiac cells, and mono- and bidomain volume conductor theory. At the body level: Equations describing bioelectric and biomagnetic fields, and models for describing recording and stimulating electrodes. The theories and methods for clinical measurements are presented, e.g.: electrocardiography (ECG), magnetocardiography (MCG), electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and electromyography (EMG).
In a student project with written report and oral poster presentation, each student will select and review a scientific paper, program a computer model, and reproduce and preferably extend the results in the paper. |
