Only basics are studied on the course

Core content level learning outcomes (knowledge and understanding)

After completion of this course student knows the most common biosensors. Participant understands how biopotential electrodes transduce ionic conduction to electronic. Student is aware how different kind of amplifiers can be used to decrease the nonlinearity of system and how the minor biopotentials given from a measurand can be amplified.
