BMSC 622 - Readings in Movement Science - Critically Evaluating the Literature Credit(s): 3 READINGS IN MOVEMENT SCIENCE Component: Lecture This course provides the student with the opportunity to actively practice and develop the essential skills necessary for effectively summarizing and critiquing original research articles in the broad field of movement science. The course takes the format of a “journal club”, where students present and discuss assigned readings, with the objective to facilitate the development of new skills in review, critical appraisal, interpretation, and assessment of the scientific literature through active participation in group discussions in class. Weekly written assignments reinforce development of these skills. Importantly, the purpose of the course is not to deliver content related to any specialized field of movement science, but rather, to examine a wide array of scientific literature to promote and encourage the development of critical appraisal skills necessary for any scientist. Repeatable for Credit: N Allowed Units: 3 Multiple Term Enrollment: N Grading Basis: Student Option Course Typically Offered: Spring

BMSC 626 - Physiological Signal Processing Credit(s): 3 PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNA PROCESSING Component: Lecture The goal is for students to acquire a hands-on knowledge of signal processing techniques relevant to their day work in the research lab. We will first revisit some of the underlying mathematical tools with a focus on refreshing how to use them and forming an intuitive understanding of what they do and mean. Then we will introduce the main concepts and techniques of processing measured signals, including dealing with noise, estimating power spectra, extracting linear relationships and quantifying the relationship of two signals to each other. We will finish with a term project, where students apply the acquired skills to a problem from their own research. The course makes heavy use of MATLAB to process data and it is expected that students have decent knowledge of the basics of MATLAB or a similar language, such as acquired in the class “Introduction to Programming in MATLAB”.
