In this paper a new method of maternal electrocardiogram suppression for fetal component extraction from one-channel maternal abdominal bioelectric signals is proposed. The method performs maternal ECG estimation by application of state-space averaging. The estimated signal is subtracted from the original one and this way suppressed. The method parameters allow us to balance between the precisi...

Cephalopods, and in particular the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis, are common models for studies of camouflage and predator avoidance behaviour. Preventing detection by predators is especially important to this group of animals, most of which are soft-bodied, lack physical defences, and are subject to both visually and non-visually mediated detection. Here, we report a novel cryptic mechanism in ...

Since the fabrication of active electrodes has been reported and their beneficial effects scientifically confirmed, we present a CMOS bioelectric amplifier with DC rejection designed for active electrode in this paper. Analysis, design and post simulation results will be described in detail. The amplifier operating at ±0.9V supply voltage has a mid-band gain of 40dB with ±300mV dc offset reject...

Macrophages play a critical role in regulating wound healing and tissue regeneration by changing their polarization state in response to local microenvironmental stimuli. The native roles of polarized macrophages encompass biomaterials and tissue remodeling needs, yet harnessing or directing the polarization response has been largely absent as a potential strategy to exploit in regenerative med...
