There exist many signals from different nature that we are used to receive in our daily life, varying from the sun light telling us that a new day is coming on, to the call of our mother screaming that you are late again. But, do we perceive all the signals that the universe is constantly sending to us? Obviously not, what are we missing? In this workshop we will learn the nature, danger and myths about ultrasounds and high energy radiation (x-ray and gamma-ray), and we will use different mobile apps to help us detect these signals. To conclude, some examples about real applications on medical imaging will be explained and related to the concepts learned during the class.
