Physiological principles, measurements, modeling, biomimetics and prostheses are the themes of this course. Physiological principals are examined and measured to study how animals systems work at the cellular, sensory and system level. Engineering models are developed and analyzed. Engineering design is applied to these principals to determine how to intervene in physiological functions.
Laboratories involve experiments, computer applications, field trips, and guest lectures.
The office hours for the instructors will be arranged. This course was developed from many sources, there is no single book which spans our range of topics with an engineering approach. Thus, lectures are extremely important in helping you do the lab exercises. We are developing a web site for the course and will put reference material there as well as other course related material.
