Neonatal seizure identification on reduced channel EEG

Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed. 2013 Jul;98(4):F359-61. doi: 10.1136/archdischild-2012-302361. Epub 2012 Oct 27.

Abstract

Using a standard digital EEG system, we conducted simulations to determine the optimal locations and numbers of electrodes for seizure detection in neonates with reduced-channel EEG monitoring. The results showed that C3-C4 should be selected for a one-channel recording, but two-channel seizure monitoring is recommended for increased accuracy.
