Description: This book and the available software are intended for use by teachers in Physiology and Biomedical Engineering. It offers them the opportunity to enrich their courses with demonstrations and exercises for students using a personal computer. Chapters and simulation programs have been contributed by outstanding experts in the field; the material is based on validated models throughout. An educational context is given stimulating the teacher to induce investigative learning with his students. For theory, reference is made to standard textbooks; the aim of instruction, the possibilities and limitations of the model and an outlook for the future are given for each subject. The models are included either as files to be used with the simulation language BIOPSI or as stand-alone programs. An extensive menu-system is supplied, featuring: Context-sensitive "Help" for each program; facilities for automatic curve-presentation; student databases with extensive reporting facilities; WYSIWYG text editor for special as well as for general use; installation for IBM XT/AT personal computers or true compatibles with CGA/EGA/VGA or Hercules graphics adapter. 2MB of hard disk space and DOS version 2.0 or higher are required.
