Night of biosignals

TU Ilmenau invites students, school pupils and anyone interested in innovations in medical technology research to a fascinating journey into the world of biosignals at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Informatics (BMTI), Gustav-Kirchhoff-Str. 2, 98693 Ilmenau, on Friday, November 15, 2024, from 6 p.m. 

How can the human retina be influenced in order to recognize and treat eye diseases? How can brain activity be recorded and analyzed outside the laboratory in mobile applications and used for sports science applications, brain-computer interfaces or continuous self-monitoring? And how can this brain activity be stimulated in order to treat depressive disorders and other illnesses? Lectures and laboratory tours on these and other topics will provide insights into the complex signals of our body and their applications in medical research, diagnosis and therapy.

At the Night of Biosignals, visitors can talk to experts in biomedicine until late in the evening and explore the latest developments in electrophysiology, ophthalmology and radiology. The event will take place simultaneously in twelve different German university cities. The on-site program will be supplemented by live broadcasts of events with experts from other locations. The event is organized by the German Society for Biomedical Engineering (DGBMT) in the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (VDE).

Immerse yourself in the world of biosignals and be inspired by the fascinating possibilities that the future of health sciences has in store for you!

Admission to the event is free of charge. Registration is not necessary.

About the BMTI

The TU Ilmenau has a long and successful tradition in biomedical engineering. Its predecessor, the Institute of Electromedical and Radiological Engineering, founded in 1953, was the first university educational institution in Europe to introduce a face-to-face study program in biomedical engineering.

Today, around 45 employees at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Informatics conduct interdisciplinary research and teach in an international network on technology-oriented methods and systems for early detection, diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation. Research focuses on medical technology for ophthalmology, the investigation of active and passive bioelectromagnetic phenomena, medical informatics and biosignal processing. The Institute's educational offerings include a Bachelor's and a Master's degree course in "Biomedical Engineering" as well as a doctoral program.
