Biomedical Electronics. Specialization characteristic
Education on the specialization consists of two streams. The first focuses on introducing methods for designing technical systems, based on biological and medical inspirations. These issues include: cybernetics, elements of artificial intelligence, fuzzy sets theory, approximate reasoning, expert systems, knowledge engineering, artificial neural networks and evolutionary algorithms. Graduates have knowledge how to design information processing systems not only in biology and medicine, but also economics, management or sociology.
The second stream involves learning the construction and principles of operation of the devices for patient diagnostics and therapy, such as ECG monitor, X-ray machine, medical laboratory equipment, or brain computer interfaces, as well as how to construct them. Particular attention is paid to introducing modern methods of biomedical signal and image processing, as well as learning about medical information systems. At the same time, the graduate has the technical knowledge to cope with a wide range of issues related to the application of technology in medicine, and the ability to cooperate with representatives of medical and biological sciences.
