EEG Recording to Enhance the Yield of EEG Abnormalities in Children <2 Years of Age: Proposed Modifications

[...]a mere increase in interelectrode distance and the resulting amplification of EEG activity1 may not ensure an increased yield of true EEG abnormalities, because an increase in the amplitude of EEG waves is not the sole criterion for an EEG abnormality, and other features of EEG waves, such as m...

Description
Summary:[...]a mere increase in interelectrode distance and the resulting amplification of EEG activity1 may not ensure an increased yield of true EEG abnormalities, because an increase in the amplitude of EEG waves is not the sole criterion for an EEG abnormality, and other features of EEG waves, such as morphology, frequency, topography, symmetry, and synchrony, must also be considered for the identification and/or classification of an EEG abnormality apart from its corroboration with the clinical picture. [...]mere amplification is required more for detecting suppressed or attenuated brain activity than for detecting EEG abnormalities.
