MATLAB is a very important tool for every engineer but it plays a special role in the life of biomedical engineer so i decided to start up on MATLAB in a totally different fashion
First Steps in MATLAB
First of all officially “MATLAB is a softwarepackage that lets you do mathematics and computation, analyse data, develop algorithms, do simulation and modelling, and produce graphical displays and graphical user interfaces.”
GETTING STARTED IN MATLAB
To run matlab on a PC double-click on the matlab icon.To run matlab on a unix system, type matlab at the prompt.
This article describes a biomedical signal processing (BSP) toolbox for the analysis
of physiologic signals. The BSP toolbox is designed to enable researchers to conduct
preliminary analysis of physiologic time series, such as the electrocardiogram (ECG),
intracranial pressure (ICP), arterial blood pressure (ABP), and oxygen saturation (SpO2).
The toolbox includes detection algorithms for the ECG and pressure waveforms, spectral
analysis, nonlinear filtering, multi-signal analysis, and nonstationary signal visualization.
The following sections discuss the functionality of this toolbox and provide examples of its
application.
