BMES by Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Add to My Exhibit List! |
||
 |
Biomedical Engineers are committed to advancing human health and well-being The BMES booth presents an example of basic biomedical research using a non-invasive data acquisition device, PowerLab, by AD Instruments, equipped with five body surface electrodes. The electroes are applied to two places on a tricep and two on a bicep, the fifth is a ground. An electromyograph is displayed by the software program (ChartView) on a laptop and shows the electrical signals generated by muscle contraction. Children and adults are able to see the visual display and read the numerical display in millivolts. The discussion then moves to how biomedical engineers utilize such physiological signaling. In this case, how they develop complex prostheses for arms and legs with movement that can match these types of signals. They are able to see state of the art data gathering devices, the types of physiological signals generated and captured, and then photos and discussion of engineering applications. Biomedical engineers will be present to discuss and explain the many other areas of interest to this expanding field. |  |
