Abstract

The use of different types of signals is hugely important in all areas of healthcare. Signal processing engineers are involved in everything from extracting information from the body's own electrical and chemical signals to using wireless signals to allow search and rescue robot swarms to communicate with each other. This ‘Brain waves’ video, aimed at secondary school students, shows the wide range of sophisticated imaging technology available in modern hospitals.
