Joint class taught by the Institute of Clinical Physiology and the Institute of Physiology at the Charité.

Theoretical and practical aspects of data acquisition, real-time data processing and automated pattern recognition in biomedicine. Topics from the following areas are covered in depth:

• Data acquisition and processing of image files in research and clinical settings (e.g. live cell imaging, super-resolution microscopy, medical imaging techniques).
• Electrophysiological methods (e.g. impedance spectroscopy, microarrays, EEG, ECG)
• Methods and application of automated pattern recognition (e.g. automated tumour detection, real-time analysis of biological signals in the brain-computer interface or in retina implants, prediction of individual arrhythmia risks)

The course will be split into two segments: the first seven appointments in the semester will take place at the Institute of Physiology, while the second seven appointments will take place at the Institute of Clinical Physiology.
