Multi-Channel Time-Frequency Analysis for EEG Neonatal Seizure Characterization

本项目研究新的信号处理方法，用于癫痫发作的多通道表征，用于诊断新生儿脑功能障碍。该结果将为患病的新生儿带来重要的直接临床益处，并将从根本上促进神经保护剂和抗惊厥药的研究进展。该项目的成功将有助于通过在生命初期诊断大脑疾病和防止进一步损害，将社会经济成本降至最低。这有可能导致在新生儿重症监护病房和医学研究中心使用标准诊断设备。

This project researches new signal processing methodologies for a multi-channel characterization of seizures for use in diagnosing newborn brain dysfunctions. The outcomes will result in important immediate clinical benefits for sick newborn babies and will fundamentally facilitate research progress in the development of neuroprotectants and anticonvulsants. The success of this project will contribute in minimizing the social financial costs by diagnosing brain disorders in the initial stage of life and preventing further damage. This has the potential to result in a standard diagnostic equipment in neonatal intensive care units and medical research centres.
