Normative longitudinal EEG recordings during sleep stage II in the first year of age
Abstract
Abstract The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a fundamental diagnostic procedure that explores brain function. This manuscript describes the characteristics of a sample of healthy at-term infants. One hundred and three (103) infants from Mexico between 15 days and 12.5 months of age were recorded during physiological sleep. Referential EEG recordings were obtained using linked ear lobes as reference. The amplifier gain was 10,000, the bandwidth was set between 0.3 and 30 Hz, and the sample rate was 200 Hz. Sample windows of 2.56 s were marked for later quantitative analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first dataset of normal infants during the first year of age.
