Abstract

The authors are involved with the development of a system which is model based and proceeds from data collection with artifact and interference recognition and handling, through data fusion to detection and description of EEG characteristics. Because of its ability to monitor and report all important characteristics of the EEG, it offers hope of being optimally useful in predicting the outcome for babies with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HTE) and in monitoring response to brain rescue treatments
