The effect of frequency band on quantitative EEG measures in neonates with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy.

The effect of frequency ranges on three quantitative EEG measures as related to neurodevelopmental outcome at 12-24 months is reported here. Thirteen EEG records from term neonates with moderate hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) were analyzed. The spectral entropy, spectral edge frequency and relative power were calculated for each EEG channel.

An evaluation of automated neonatal seizure detection methods.

Objective: To evaluate 3 published automated algorithms for detecting seizures in neonatal EEG.

Methods: One-minute, artifact-free EEG segments consisting of either EEG seizure activity or non-seizure EEG activity were extracted from EEG recordings of 13 neonates. Three published neonatal seizure detection algorithms were tested on each EEG recording.
