Computational Modeling and Simulation of Bioelectricity

4 credits

Explores multi-scale modeling of cardiac bioelectricity. Students learn biophysical theory in didactic lectures (e.g., ion channel kinetics, impulse propagation, arrhythmia) and conduct "virtual heart" experiments in hands-on sessions. Prerequisite: MATH 126 or MATH 136; PHYS 122 or PHYS 142; and either BIOEN 217, CSE 122 , CSE 160, or AMATH 301; recommended: introductory cardiovascular physiology (either BIOEN 345, P BIO 375, or equivalent).
