DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EEG,ECG AND ERP MODULES USING MATLAB TOOLS

INTRODUCTION
Biomedical signals are observations of physiological activities of organisms. Biomedical signal processing aims at extracting significant information from biomedical signals. The biomedical signal processing helps the biologists to discover new biology and physicians to monitor distinct illnesses. The primary focus of biomedical signal processing is on filtering signals to remove noise.

Noises arise from imprecision of instruments and interference of power lines. Other sources are the biological system under study. Removing unwanted signal components can then underlie subsequent biomedicine discoveries. A fundamental method for noise cancellation analyzes the signal spectra and suppresses undesired frequency components.

ERP : Event Related Potentials are voltage fluctuations that are associated in time with some physical or mental occurrence. EEG : Electro encephalography (EEG), popularly known as brain waves . ECG : Electro Cardio Graphy (ECG) deals with the study of the electrical activity of the heart muscles.

METHODOLOGY
The aim of the project is to Remove interference from ECG. Extracting ERP from EEG. Modeling of EEG and ECG. Increasing Signal to noise Ratio (SNR).

Implementation Proposal
Identify the main concepts in biomedical signal acquisition. Classify the biomedical signals. Produce report and interpret different signal statistics. Identify potential sources of noise when acquiring a biomedical signal. Develop a strategy to solve a noise problem with the signal acquisition. Produce measurements of the frequency components of a signal and acquire EEG signal and measure its frequency components using mat lab.

 The essential blocks of biomedical system are shown above.

The biological signal obtained from the patient is processed. The instrumentation amplifier converts signals from brain into more discernable signals for output device. The signal processing includes modification of signals, filtering and altering the shapes of signals etc.Display devices consists of oscilloscopes or recorders.

Advantages The analysis biomedical signal will lead to a more accurate diagnose decision by the physician. Biomedical signals are at best indirect indicators of the state of the patient. It helps to solve the problems of biology and medicine. Disadvantages The data obtained is of poor quality. The tools available are not very much efficient. The analysis requires keen observation and knowledge.
