Line length as a robust method to detect high-activity events : Automated burst detection in premature EEG recordings

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, called interburst intervals (IBIs). Evolution of background characteristics provides information on brain maturation and helps in prediction of neurological outcome. The aim is to develop a method for automated burst detection.status: publishe
