When studying biological systems, we are often interested in how the output of the system is related to an input; e.g. how insulin secretion is related to glucose levels or how neural activity is related to upcoming movements. This input/output relationship is determined by the dynamics of the system. These dynamics can be analyzed using a number of different approaches, including explicit equations, computational simulations, or direct experimental measurements. This course presents approaches for performing such analyses, providing students ‘hands-on’ experience working these methods through a combination of lectures and laboratories.
Who takes it?
This course is taken by junior-level biomedical engineers. Prerequisites: BMD_ENG 308-0; BMD_ENG 207-0. This course serves as the foundation for future engineering courses across disciplines, including analog and digital signal processing, control theory, system dynamics, and nonlinear systems – as well as for senior Capstone Design (BME 390-1,2).
