Matlab in Biomedical engineering

Applications of MATLAB in BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

Getting Started

what is matlab????

MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran.

what are its key features?

• High-level language for technical computing
• Development environment for managing code, files, and data
• Interactive tools for iterative exploration, design, and problem solving
• Mathematical functions for linear algebra, statistics, Fourier analysis, filtering, optimization, and numerical integration
• 2-D and 3-D graphics functions for visualizing data
• Tools for building custom graphical user interfaces
• Functions for integrating MATLAB based algorithms with external applications and languages, such as C, C++, Fortran, Java, COM, and Microsoft Excel

where is matlad used???

You can use MATLAB in a wide range of applications, including signal and image processing, communications, control design, test and measurement, financial modeling and analysis, and computational biology.

IMAGE PROCESSINg

Image Processing Toolbox provides a comprehensive set of reference-standard algorithms and graphical tools for image processing, analysis, visualization, and algorithm development.

You can perform :

• image enhancement,
• image deblurring,
• feature detection,
• noise reduction,
• image segmentation,
• spatial transformations,
• and image registration.

SIGNAL PROCESSING

Signal Processing Toolbox provides industry-standard algorithms for analog and digital signal processing (DSP).

You can use the toolbox to

• visualize signals in time and frequency domains,
• compute FFTs for spectral analysis,
• design FIR and IIR filters,
• and implement convolution,
• modulation, resampling,
• and other signal processing techniques.

Algorithms in the toolbox can be used as a basis for developing custom algorithms for audio and speech processing, instrumentation, and baseband wireless communications.

The brainstorm toolbox

BrainStorm is an integrated Matlab Toolbox dedicated to Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and Electroencephalography (EEG) data visualization and processing.

Brainstorm features include:

Generate slides and animations; Channel selection; Data filtering, 3D Surface rendering MRI visualization and co-registration: Import MRI scans, co-registration with the MEG/EEG coordinate system

Computational Biology

• SimBiology

SimBiology provides graphical and programmatic tools for computational systems biology and pharmacokinetics. It contains functionality for creating, simulating, and analyzing biological models. The SimBiology desktop lets you build a model using a block diagram editor, a model wizard, or a tabular interface

• Bioinformatics Toolbox

This bioinformatics software provides access to genomic and proteomic data formats, analysis techniques, and specialized visualizations for genomic and proteomic sequence and microarray analysis.
