Class Objectives
/Class Outline
This course covers the measurement, processing, and recognition of biosignals and their engineering applications in academia and industry. Various biosignal information, such as electroencephalograms (EEG), electromyograms (EMG), and electrocardiograms (ECG), can be measured from the human body. Recognizing patterns from these signals is expected to lead to practical applications in the real world. To achieve this, the use of appropriate signal processing, probabilistic modeling, and artificial intelligence techniques including deep learning is essential. This course provides an overview of specific challenges in these related fields and the latest research topics for addressing them.
