Aim

Long-term electroencephalogram (EEG) recording is increasingly being used in the neonatal period, but application and maintenance of the EEG electrodes is challenging, especially in preterm infants. This study proposes a practical method of electrode application that can be used in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
