A brief recap of stochastic processes (including a test). Mathematical theorems and their connection to biomedical problems. A critical review of traditional signal processing and pattern recognition tools in a context of biomedical engineering. Part of the course is based on the independent study and research work in the field of signal processing in medical research. Study and research work is based on the primary scientific sources, organization and conduction of experiments as well as statistical analysis of data, numerical simulations, and writing a paper on the narrow scientific area in which doctoral dissertation is based.
