Description

Circuits, Signals, and Systems for Bioengineers: A MATLAB-Based Introduction, Fourth Edition, guides the reader through the electrical engineering principles that can be applied to biological systems. It details the basic engineering concepts that underlie biomedical systems, medical devices, biocontrol, and biomedical signal analysis, providing a solid foundation for students in important bioengineering concepts. Fully revised and updated to better meet the needs of instructors and students, the fourth edition expands on concepts introduced in the previous edition through computational methods that allow students to explore operations, such as correlations, convolution, the Fourier transform, and the transfer function. New medical examples and applications are included throughout the text.

Key features

  • Covers current applications in biocontrol, with examples from physiological systems modeling, such as the respiratory system
  • Features revised material throughout, with improved clarity of presentation and more biological, physiological, and medical examples and applications
  • Includes support materials, such as solutions, lecture slides, MATLAB data, and functions needed to solve problems

Readership

Biomedical engineering students Practicing medical technicians, mechanical engineers, and electrical engineers

John Semmlow

John Semmlow was a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering of Rutgers University and in the Department of Surgery of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School UMDNJ for 32 years. Over that period he published over 100 review journal articles and has been appointed a Fellow of the IEEE, the AIMBE, and the BMES. He retired in June of 2010, but still remains active in research, particularly cardiovascular diagnosis and human motor control. He is actively pursuing a ‘second career’ as an artist, designing and building computer controlled kinetic art: sculptures that move in interesting and intriguing ways.
