Collecting EEG signals in the IMPROVE data library

One of the aims of the IMPROVE project was to test the feasibility and clinical value of including limited monitoring of high-quality long-term EEG signals with the main DL in a restricted number of patients. Such an EEG DL would form a useful basis for testing the applicability and validity of different signal-processing and interpretation methods in ICU monitoring, and also demonstrate the degree to which useful information could be obtained by a degree of fusion between systemic and cerebral variables. Continuous display of the raw EEG signal can enable easy recognition/detection of events such as epileptiform discharges, lateralized changes in the EEG background activity, or less obvious artifacts in the EEG.
