The effect of reducing EEG electrode number on the visual interpretation of the human expert for neonatal seizure detection

Optimising neuro-critical care in the newborn has become a high priority issue in paediatrics (Abend et al. 2011; Bonifacio et al. 2011; Glass et al. 2016). One of the key challenges in neuro-critical care is to provide brain monitoring that is continuous and uninterrupted in settings where personnel are changing constantly, neurophysiological support is limited, and an array of other medical devices are competing for cotside attention and placements. These practical considerations have led neonatologists to use a biparietal (P3-P4), or more recently, a two-channel (centro/fronto-parietal) derivation, to provide a measurement of neurological function (van Rooij et al.
