Abstract

The interaction between electrical engineering and bio-medicine can be traced back centuries to the discovery that muscles work with electrical pulses. However, these early experiments did not lead to direct medical applications. The era of microelectronics has brought many new medical applications, from devices to improve the quality of life, such as hearing aids, to live saving devices for the operating theatre.
