Nature of Biomedical Signals

Living organism are made up of many
component systems




Nervous system
Cardiovascular system
Musculoskeletal system
Each system carries on many physiological
processes


The cardiac system performs the rhythmic
pumping blood throughout the body and the
pulmonary system.
They are accompanied by or manifest themselves
as signals that reflect their nature and activities.

Nature of Biomedical Signals

What is a signal?
 A signal is a single-valued
representation of information as
a function of an independent
variable (e.g., time).

Action Potential (動作電位)

Action potential




the basic component of all bioelectrical signals.
provides information on the nature of physiological
activity at the single-cell level.
An excited cell displaying an action potential is
called depolarized (去極化).
caused by the flow of sodium (Na+), potassium
(K+), chloride (Cl-), and other ions across the cell
membrane.
10
The Neuron

cell body (soma)

Axon (軸突)

Dendrite (樹突)
11
The neuronal membrane


5 nm thickness
The membrane acts as a capacitor.
12
Action Potential (動作電位)

Resting (polarized)





Sodium (Na+) concentration inside the cell is far
less than the outside.
The outside of the cell is more positive than the
inside of the cell.
To balance the charge, additional potassium (K+)
ions enter the cell, causing higher K+
concentration inside the cell than outside.
Charge balance cannot be reached due to
differences in membrane permeability for the
various ions.
A state of equilibrium is established with a
potential difference, with the inside of the cell
being negative with respect to the outside.
13
Action Potential (動作電位)

Depolarization




A cell is excited by ionic currents or an
external stimulus.
Membrane allows sodium (Na+) ions rush
into the cell.
The potassium (K+) ions leaves the cell but
cannot move as fast as sodium (Na+) ions.
The inside of the cell becomes positive with
respect to the outside.
14
Action Potential (動作電位)

Repolarization


The predominant membrane permeability
is for potassium (K+) ions (to leave the
cell).
It makes the inside more negative back to
the resting potential.
15
Action potential
16
All-or-None law


The action potential is always the same for
a given cell, regardless of the method of
excitation or the intensity of the stimulus
beyond a threshold.
The duration of action potentials lasts only
about 3 ms because the channels are only
open for a fixed period of time.
(inactivation of Na+ channels)
17
Absolute refractory period

After an action potential, there is a period
during which a cell cannot respond to any
new stimulus.
18
Examples
19
Electroneurogram (ENG)




ENG is an electrical signal observed as a
stimulus and the associated nerve action
potential propagates over the length of a nerve.
Measuring the nerve conduction velocity (NCV)
of an action potential in a nerve by comparing
the latencies recorded at different locations.
ENG have amplitudes of the order of 10 uV.
Stimulus pulse:

amplitude: 100V, duration:100-300 s


The stimuli was applied to the ulnar nerve (尺骨神經).
The grid boxes: 3ms in width, 2uV in height
NCV=Distance(Belbow,Wrist)/time




Nerve fibers: 45-70 m/s
Heart muscle: 0.2-0.4 m/s
Neural disease may cause a decrease in
conduction velocity.

22
Electromyogram (EMG) 肌電波


Skeletal muscles are make up of collection of
motor units (MUs).
Motor unit (MU):




Single-motor-unit action potential (SMUAP):


a motorneuron,
its axon (軸突),
and muscle fibers innervated by that axon
electrical signal of a motor unit that is the summation
of the action potentials of all of its constituent cells
Normal SMUAPs:




biphasic or triphasic
3-15 msec in duration
100-300 V in amplitude
appear with frequency in the range of 6-30 Hz
23
Electromyogram (EMG)

Triphasic
SMUP trains recorded simultaneously from three
channels of needle electrodes
24
Electromyogram (EMG)

EMG of the muscle: spatio-temporal summation
of the MUAPs of all of the active motor units.
25
Electromyogram (EMG)

Electrocardiogram (ECG)




ECG is the electrical manifestation of the
contractile activity of the heart and can be
recorded with surface electrodes on the
limbs or chest.
Two atria (心房)collect blood and two
ventricles (心室) pumps out blood.
The rhythm of the heart in term of beats
per minute (bpm) may be easily estimated
by counting the readily identifiable waves.
The normal (resting) heart rate is 70 bpm.
28
Electrocardiogram (ECG)



The right atrium (RA) collects impure blood
from the vena cava (靜脈).
During atrial contraction, the impure blood
is passed to the right ventricle (RV).
During ventricular systole, the impure blood
is pumped out to the lungs for purification.
29
Electrocardiogram (ECG)



The left atrium (LA) receive purified blood
from the lungs.
During atrial contraction, the purified blood
is passed to the left ventricle (LV).
During ventricular systole, the oxygenated
blood is pumped out to the body through
the aortic valve (動脈).

but results from the production and conduction of
cardiac action potentials

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

Some important features of the standard clinical
ECG:




peak value is normally about 1mV
amplifier gain used is about 1,000
recommended sampling rate is 500 Hz.
filtered bandwidth is about 0.05-100 Hz (for clinical)
or 0.05-500 (for high resolution).
37
Electroencephalogram (EEG)



EEG measures the cortical potential (皮質
電位) of Brain.
Cortical potentials are generated due to
excitatory and inhibitory post-synaptic
potentials (突觸後電位)developed by
pyramidal neurons (錐體神經元).
Scalp EEG is the average of multifarious
electrical activities of many small zones of
the cortical surface beneath the electrode.


Event-related potential (ERP) represents
the EEG in response to visual (light),
auditory (sound), electrical, or other
external stimuli.
ERPs are weak signals buried in ongoing
activity of associated systems
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement
is usually improved by synchronized
averaging and filtering.
