ABSTRACT
In the neonatal period, brain development is quite open to external influences. One of the effective monitoring methods of this period is the neonatal EEG. It provides important information about both seizures and prognosis. However, the neonatal EEG has difficulties due to the structural composition of the infant head as well as the equipment used. In this section, the technical characteristics of the neonatal EEG, neonatal montage systems, and EEG recording aspects will be discussed.
Keywords: Electroencephalography; montage; technique; newborn
