• Basics of Physiology and Anatomy (High-school level)

• Basics of Electrical Engineering:
  

  • Basic elements of electronic circuits (resistor, capacitor, inductor) and related equations

• Basic math: Integration, Differentiation, Limits

• Basics of Filtering:
  

  • Fourier Transform (qualitative understanding)

  • Basic filter types

  • z-plane (qualitative understanding)

Furthermore, some knowledge in the following topics will be beneficial to easily understand the content of the lecture:

• Advanced filter concepts

• z-plane math / z-transform / pole-zero plots

• Frequency domain math / detailed understanding of Fourier transform and its properties

• Laplace transform

• Basics of Python (for the exercises)

If you want to refresh your knowledge on all aforementioned topics, we recommend the following lectures and online resources: Note that some of them go beyond the requirements of this lecture for many topics!
