Connectivity Analysis of Hypsarrhythmia-EEG for Infants With West Syndrome
Detection of hypsarrhythmia electroencephalography (EEG) in infants with West syndrome (WS) is currently performed by manual inspection of long-term video/EEG recording, producing low inter-rater reliability.

Interpretation of electroencephalography in infants
Aim: Based on published reports and our own observations, we aimed to assign the graphical elements of EEG into normal and abnormal groups and then identify up to five main graphic elements in each group to facilitate visual analysis and interpretation ...

Clinical Features and Treatment Efficacy in Mutation-Related Epileptic Encephalopathy in the Infant [PDF]
Purpose Mutations in the cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) gene are associated with epileptic encephalopathy and severe cognitive impairment. We aim to characterize the association between this gene and treatment efficacy. Methods We retrospectively

Quantification of Hypsarrhythmia in Infantile Spasmatic EEG: A Large Cohort Study
Infantile spasms (IS) is a neurological disorder causing mental and/or developmental retardation in many infants. Hypsarrhythmia is a typical symptom in the electroencephalography (EEG) signals with IS.
