Maturation of EEG
• Maturation of EEG patterns parallels brain development
• Anatomical and physiological development of brain
• Development of age-specific waking and sleep patterns
• Most dramatic EEG changes occur between premature
age and 1st 3 months of life
• EEG patterns during 1st 6 months closely correlate with
conceptual age (CA)
