Course Overview

A course designed to teach informatic aspects of life. Measurement and modelling, data storage, analysis and representation of biological phenomena are discussed, focusing on genetic information, information processing in living organisms, brain activity and physiological signals. Specifically, bioinformatics methods to treat biological information, systems biology approach to model living organisms, physiological signal processing, auditory system and its modeling, and media art with physiological information are explained. Informatic principles and approaches in modern biology will also be discussed with related biological processes.

Learning Achievement

Those completing the course will be able to understand and explain measurement and modelling, data storage, analysis and representation of genetic information, information processing in living organisms, brain activity and physiological signals.

Competence
