Bioacoustic signals
Bioacoustic Signals
Bioacoustic signals are a special subset of biomechanical signals that involve vibrations (motion). Many biological events produce acoustic noise. For instance, the flow of blood through the valves in the heart has a distinctive sound. Measurements of the bioacoustic signal of a heart valve can be used to determine whether it is operating properly. The respiratory system, joints, and muscles also generate bioacoustic signals that propagate through the biological medium and can often be measured at the skin surface by using acoustic transducers such as microphones and accelerometers.
