Electroencephalography is the only clinically available technique that can address the
premature neonate normal and pathological functional development week after week. The …

Hemodynamic changes during neonatal transition increase the vulnerability of the preterm
brain to injury. Real-time monitoring of brain function during this period would help identify …

Recent experimental studies have shown that early brain activity is crucial for neuronal
survival and the development of brain networks; however, it has been challenging to assess …

Objective To develop a method for automated neonatal sleep state classification based on
EEG that can be applied over a wide range of age. Methods We collected 231 EEG …

Sleep state development in preterm neonates can provide crucial information regarding
functional brain maturation and give insight into neurological well being. However, visual …

Objective A major challenge in the care of preterm infants is the early identification of
compromised neurological development. While several measures are routinely used to track …

Signal processing measures of instantaneous energy typically include only amplitude
information. But measures that include both amplitude and frequency do better at assessing …

Objective To develop an automated estimate of EEG maturational age (EMA) for preterm
neonates. Methods The EMA estimator was based on the analysis of hourly epochs of EEG …

Automated analysis of the neonatal EEG has the potential to assist clinical decision making
for neonates with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. This paper proposes a method of …

Objective EEG is a valuable tool for evaluation of brain maturation in preterm babies.
Preterm EEG constitutes of high voltage burst activities and more suppressed episodes …
