Short description:	The lecture concerns physiological bases of various bioelectric signals measured from the human body. The main emphasis is put on electroencephalographic signals generated by the human brain. Besides, the origin of signals from the heart, muscles, eye and galvanic skin response are also presented.
Full description:	The cellular basis of neurobiology. The membrane potential and the action potential. Conduction of the action potential. The synapse. Autonomic functions. Sweat glands. Galvanic skin response (GSR). Lie detector. The biophysics of the heart. The conduction system of the heart. Formation of the ECG signal Skeletal muscle. Sliding filament model. Neuromuscular junction. Muscle properties. Motor unit types. Electromyography. Theory of electroencephalography I. Electric fields and currents in biological tissue. Basic equations, synchrony of the sources, current source density. Theory of electroencephalography II. Application of volume conductor theory to electroencephalography. The solid angle theorem for electric potentials, dipole layer. Magnetoencephalography Sleep EEG rhythms – sleep spindles, K complexes, slow waves, slow oscillation. Sleep structure and function. Epileptic discharges. EEG rhythms during wakefulness – theta, alpha, mu tau, beta/gamma, high gamma, hippocampal ripples. Evoked potentials – waves. Event related de(synchronization) Student's workload: 15h - attending the lectures - 0.5 ECTS 15h - preparations for the lectures - 0,5 ECTS 30h - preparations for the exam - 1 ECTS Total: 2 ECTS
