Research Laboratories Biomedical Signal Processing Laboratory The mission
Research Laboratories Biomedical Signal Processing Laboratory The mission of the BSP lab is to increase our collective knowledge of how useful information can be extracted from physiologic signals. We primarily focus on clinical projects in which the extracted information can help physicians make better critical decisions and improve patient outcome. Digital Signal Processing Laboratory A 250 -sqft laboratory is available for students to design a complete DSP based electronic system. The DSP Lab has 9 DSP development stations. Each station is equipped with a Tektronix function generator, a Tektronix oscilloscope, a PC and a Texas Instruments TMS 320 c 31 DSP development system. Evolvable Systems Laboratory The purpose of this lab is to investigate how hardware can self-adapt, via autonomous reconfiguration, to compensate for failures or a changing operational environment. The methods used rely heavily on the use of evolutionary algorithms, which emulate natural selection as found in nature, to modify reconfigurable hardware. The emphasis of current work is to explore reconfiguration as a fault recovery method for autonomous hardware. Analog Circuit Design and Test (FAB 60 -22) A 300 -sqft laboratory is available to design discrete or integrated filters and test their performance. The laboratory has workstations and the necessary design and simulation software (Cadence, Mentor Graphics, Tektronix Analog Design System (ADE), Magic, SPICE). Test and measurement equipment to permit measuring the frequency response of filters from DC to several GHz is available. Our lab is closely affiliated with the IC Design and Test Lab. Biomedical Micro Devices And Nanotechnology Laboratory The focus of this laboratory is to develop "Detect-to. Warn" and "Detect-to-Treat" Sensors by amalgamating Micro and Nano fabrication technologies with Photonics, Electronics, Micro fluidics and Biology, towards integration on a wireless transmission platform. The goal of this research group is to address the local and regional needs for sensing, testing and diagnostic tools.
