This section contains
hands on exercises
with the tools described in
NeuroTraces
This part contains some small tutorials about how to use the tools described in Neurotraces. At present it contains the next items (you can get more information about some of the tools in our home page):
Applying PhysioNet tools to manage neurophysiological signals
A tutorial about how to convert ASCII files containing physiological recordings (created by commercial instruments) to Physionet format. Once converted, the application of some of the tools contained in PhysioNet as well as the transfer of the result to Scilab (a Matlab-like software package) is also discussed. The installation of Wave (an excellent viewer running on Linux that can be used to analyze EEG, ECG and many other signals ) on a Mandrake 9.0 system is detailed. Once more I have to acknowledge the continuous support of several friends among them my friend Pedro Espino.
A seminar on biological signal recording for pre graduate students of Medicine
This tutorial
tries
to introduce pre graduate students of Medicine to the recording of
biological
signals. It discusses in elementary terms the amplifier, the
transducer,
the sampling and the handling of files containing physiological
signals.
The contents of PhysioNet are described and the students are encouraged
to
install GtkWave in their own computers. I think that similar contents
could
be used in other fields such as Biology or Medical Engineering. I would
like
very much to know about similar experiences.
Hearing the sounds of the sleeping body: some notes about how to hear physiological signals
This tutorial describes how to hear physiological signals. To do it, the tools and methods to get the audification of sleep recordings (EEG, EOG, ECG, respiration) are detailed. You can handle the complexity of long recordings through audition. Try it!
