Why? Learning biomedical signal processing requires knowledge of the biomedical application as well as of signal processing methodologies. To really makes these aspects come alive, however, it is essential to get a 'hands-on' experience in processing of the signals. In order to facilitate such learning, this website provides descriptions of projects and related signals available for download (Matlab format). The main part of the projects is based on the textbook Bioelectrical Signal Processing in Cardiac and Neurological Applications by Leif Sörnmo and Pablo Laguna (Elsevier/Academic Press, 2005).

Research? The Biosignal Projects website is intended for educational purposes and is unsuitable for scientific studies; the available data sets are small and thus inadequate, e.g., for methodological evaluation. An excellent initiative is the PhysioNet website which is an archive of well-characterized digital recordings of physiologic signals which are available for free. While PhysioNet is an extremely powerful resource for the research community, the Biosignal Projects website aims at providing easy access to signals useful for students taking a course in biomedical signal processing.

The joy of sharing! If your teaching benefits from the signals available on this website, please consider to share any of the signals already used in your course. At present, the available projects cover limited aspects of biomedical signal processing and therefore it is desirable to extend the variety of projects. Submission of projects is very simple and is only preceded by establishing a contact with the textbook authors (click the Contact tab above for more information).

In progress. Please note that several new projects will be added in the future, and that existing ones may be revised; a history of projects can be found here.
