For some years there is used the Monitoring of Amplitude-Integrated Electroencephalography to term newborn.It corresponds to the Electroencephalography sign obtained in C3 and C4 location of the standard electroencephalography, amplification of the sign, filtered to 2-15Hz, submitted to a semilogarithmic compression of the extent rectified by a constant of time of 0,5 seconds and compressed. This gives origin to different patterns, possible to interpret for the clinician in real time. The use of this tool in premature babies is still experimental.
