Instrumentation System• A Measuring system is required to compare a quantity with a standard or to

provide an output that can be related to the quantity being measured

• The quantity to be measured is detected by an input transducer or sensor.

• The detected quantity may be converted to a mechanical or electrical form of energy

• Future of Bioinstrumentation is very bright. Day by day new ideas are researched and implemented. Such as;– harnessing the power of the

body to power devices– bringing more advanced

prosthetics– new methods of diagnosis and

treatment of diseases and problems which were not there before.

– Etc.

Future Of Bioinstrumentation

Brain hacking• Brain hacking refers the

possibility to attack the human brain to extract sensitive information such as data and memories, including also the capability to inject new information.

• The art of technology allow to perceive changes in the magnetic field related to brain activity making possible reading of people’s thoughts.

• When thinking of the future Biomedical instrumentation will have, we can be sure that it will have an important role in bringing about a better understanding and ways to communicate with the brain.
