Description This subject will cover advanced design of biomedical electronic devices including, implanted devices, human-computer-interface, bioinstrumentation and neuromorphic engineering. Topics covered span from the bioelectromagnetism and related applications to regulatory aspects (IEC standards and TGA/FDA approval processes) and electrical safety of instrumentation. This subject will have a strong practical design focus with laboratories and tutorials focused on the design of real instrumentation (including manufacturing) dealing with real biomedical signals.
