The student is able to:
- formulate requirements for filters for noise suppression in ECG signals, EEG, EMG
- design and implement adaptive filters for suppressing power hum in biosignals
- design and implement special filters Lynn type for narrowband interference suppression
- explain the principle of detection of QRS complexes in ECG signals and graphoelements in EEG signals
- describe the principle of detecting the beginning and end of major waves in the ECG signals
- explain the principles of stationarity tests of stochastic signals
- describe the principle of non-parametric and parametric methods for estimating power spectra
- describe the principle of cross-spectra and coherence spectra estimation and their use for analysis of EEG signals
- describe the principle of Poincare maps and their use for signal analysis (HRV, TWA)
- explain the principle of realization mapping for analysis of EEG signals
- explain the principle of continuous estimate the level of surface EMG signal

Students should have knowledge of digital signal processing, be familiar with the ways of describing the linear filters (transfer function, impulse response, difference equations, frequency response). Assuming knowledge of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and the ability to interpret the result DFT. The laboratory work is expected knowledge of Matlab programming environment.

Teaching methods include lectures and computer laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning system. Students have to write a single project/assignment during the course.

- 30 points can be obtained for activity in the laboratory exercises, consisting in solving tasks (for the procedure for the examination must be obtained at least 15 points)
- 70 points can be obtained for the written exam (the written examination is necessary to obtain at least 35 points)
