Summary
Recognizing a normal recording is the first, but not the simplest, step of EEG analysis. Normal EEG patterns evolve in a predictable, age-dependent manner. In reviewing EEG and qEEG trends, clinicians must identify normal patterns and common artifacts that may mimic seizures or other abnormalities. This chapter provides a guide for practitioners reviewing neonatal and pediatric EEG to help recognize normal tracings. Instruction is given for how to systematically approach EEG and QEEG analysis. Age-specific aspects are reviewed with example findings. Common artifacts are shown.
