The interpretation of a neonatal EEG relies on the waveform itself. Therefore, maintaining appropriate conditions is desirable for interpreting neonatal EEGs. If recording conditions such as electrode placement, montage, and filters are changed, it becomes challenging to accumulate knowledge on normal and abnormal findings. With paper recordings, standardizing recording conditions were straightforward. However, in the current era of digital EEGs, which are commonly read on displays, standardizing reading conditions is more difficult due to varying monitor resolutions and aspect ratios. To address this issue, it is recommended that each facility establish its own conditions for reading neonatal EEGs.
