Activity discontinuous in early life
Long periods of electrical silence
Presen in both sleep and awake records
Seen till 30th week CA

• This pattern is referred to as
‘Trace Discontinua’
• EEG activity becomes continuous during
waking by 34 weeks CA
• EEG activity becomes continuous during
NREM by 37 weeks CA
• However, semi-periodic, voltage attenuation
still seen during NREM sleep, lasting for 1015 seconds
• Present upto 5-6 weeks of age

• EEG activity asynchronous till 28 weeks CA
• Degree of asynchrony decreases with age,
mature brain has minimal asynchrony

• Beta-delta waveforms are composed of
random wave forms
• 0.3-1.5 Hz frequency, superimposed on fast
frequency
• Fast frequency in two frequency bands
• 8-12 Hz and 18-22 Hz
• Voltage <75
• Also known as spindle delta bursts, ripples of
prematurity, etc

• Appear by 26 weeks CA
• 4.5-6 Hz, 20-200 µv
• Occur independently for short bursts, <2 sec
• Expressed maximally at 30-32 weeks CA, then
decline in frequency
• Used to determine CA, replaced by alpha
rhythm

• Response easily identifiable by 37 weeks CA
• Generalised attenuation or rarely augmentation
of voltage to loud sounds seen by 34 th week
• If background is high voltage delta, response is
attenuation
• If background is low voltage theta, response is
augmentation

• Till that age, Beta Delta complexes dominate
• These change to random, semi arrhythmic
activity at 4-8 Hz
• Trace alternans seen during 36-38 weeks
