Background
Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) is a method for continuous monitoring of brain function that is used increasingly in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The method is based on filtered and compressed EEG that enables evaluation of long-term changes and trends in electrocortical background activity by relatively simple pattern recognition. The cerebral function monitor (CFM) was created by Prior and Maynard in the 1960s for use in adult intensive care. Prior and Maynard aimed for a brain monitoring system that had the following features: simplicity, reasonable cost, reliability, direct information about neuronal function, noninvasiveness and wide applicability, quantification and output, automatic operation, and flexibility.
