BIOSIGNAL PROCESSING

This article describes the different origins and types of biosignals and distinguishes
between deterministic, periodic, transient, and random signals. Biological signals are space,
time, or space–time records of a biological event. Biosignals contain useful information that
can be used to understand the underlying physiological mechanisms of a specific biological
event or system, and which may be useful for medical diagnosis. Biological signals can be
classified according to various characteristics of the signal, including the waveform shape,
statistical structure, and temporal properties. Two broad classes of signals that are
commonly encountered include continuous and discrete signals. The Article also illustrates
the basic components in a bioinstrumentation system. Sensors adapt the signal that is being
observed into an electrical analog signal that can be measured with a data acquisition
system. The data acquisition system converts the analog signal into a calibrated digital
signal that can be stored. Digital signal processing techniques are applied to the stored
signal to reduce noise and extract additional information that can improve understanding of
the physiological meaning of the original parameter.
