Benefiting from the recent phenomenon that people and technology are becoming increasingly intertwined, we demonstrate that this also represents a paradigm–shift opportunity for Digital Signal Processing (DSP) educators to keep the curriculum current by syncing it to technological and educational developments. Our own first step in this direction was to bring research into the classroom, through bio–presence, which allowed us to center several classic DSP topics around the analysis of students’ own physiological signals. This not only facilitates student engagement in curiosity-driven learning but also helps to broaden their perspective on next-generation health care, entrepreneurship, and to appreciate the relevance of their degree with respect to technological advancements. Case studies on the use of students’ own Electroencephalogram (ECG) to illuminate both current and emerging DSP concepts support the approach, and include examples ranging from baseline drift removal (nonstationarity) to multiscale approaches and DSP for Big Data.
