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 …

Background Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is one of the most important causes of
brain injury in preterm infants. Preterm HIE is predominantly caused by global hypoxia …

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

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 …

Recent advances in sensor and recording technology have allowed scientists to acquire
very large time-series datasets. Researchers often analyze these datasets in the context of …

Objective To quantify the neuronal connectivity in preterm infants between homologous
channels of both hemispheres. Methods EEG coherence analysis was performed on serial …

Objective To document the occurrence of genuine sleep stages in the early preterm babies,
and to develop an EEG-based index for following sleep wake cyclicity. Methods Twelve …

Background Preterm infants are at risk for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. No therapy
exists to treat this brain injury and subsequent long-term sequelae. We have previously …

Aim: To develop a method that segments preterm EEG into bursts and inter-bursts by
extracting and combining multiple EEG features. Methods: Two EEG experts annotated …

Objective. To develop an automated algorithm to quantify background EEG abnormalities in
full-term neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Approach. The algorithm …
