WARNING! Some of the experiments carried out in the course might require direct human contact to the
designed hardware. In such cases, the equipment will be strictly BATTERY POWERED to avoid the risk of
an electrical shock. As we are not qualified equipment manufacturers, even for circuits that have means for
patient isolation, there is a risk. Consequently, students are strictly prohibited to experiment on themselves
if the equipment has any kind of mains connection.
