Drexel Freshman Engineering Design Labs have a topic for each section. Our section, 071, is titled Biomedical Instrumentation and is described below.
Theme: Biomedical Applications
Description: Medical instrumentation is defined as the acquisition of various human biological signals for the purpose of either monitoring physiological phenomena or for integration into sophisticated electrical-mechanical systems. Specifically, bioelectrical instrumentation involves monitoring action-potential propagation across masses of neurons within the body. Surface electrodes are arranged on the skin around a muscle of interest. After amplification and noise reduction techniques are applied, the biosignals can then be used for for drawing inferences about the physiology of the subject, or as a control signal in some sort of electrical-mechanical system. In this section, students will construct a bioamplifier to acquire such signals to drive an electro-mechanical system of their choosing.
